    First impression is that those are insurance forms all around him. But then I remembered that this is Ramirez.

    But it still makes non sense. No small independent business person likes his health care unless his wife works somewhere with benes. This guy either works as a clerk for someone else in which case he doesn’t really get to choose his health care (he has choices among equals). Or he’s an independent contractor (hence he’s doing all his own work, because he hasn’t hired someone to file for him.)

    Overall it shows that Ramirez is not in touch with the real; world.

    “If you like your health care now, you can keep it” (Barack Obama). Gee, how much clearer can he be?

    As always a complete exaggeration. But then again this a right winger we’re dealing with.

    No, Doc, once Obamacare is in place, ALL companies will “point employees towards socialized health care”. What would stop them? So when we pay our ever increasing taxes we will be subsidizing Microsoft, GE, Pfizer, AT&T, etc.

    If there are co-ops or only private companies with subsidized premiums than maybe John Q Public will be able to keep his current health care plan. If there is a public option, goodbye private insurance companies.

    nomad, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but so what if they do, does that change your doctor or your care?

    As to subsidizing MSN, GE, etc, this is why we must move the funds companies are spending on healthcare now, to taxes from them to the gov’t.

    no net change, theoretically.

    That is the problem DrC–Obama is not clear on what is really going to occur.

    Nomad,

    And yet they call Obama a Marxist?

    If what you say comes to pass (and I think it would) he would be the best friend business EVER HAD!

    Its just frustrating to see so many of you dog avatar people running around chasing your own tails and contradicting your own rhetoric.

    You people are making me dizzy!

    BCS,

    The problem is that he’s not alone!

    DrCanuck,

    “‘If you like your health care now, you can keep it’ (Barack Obama). Gee, how much clearer can he be?”

    The problem is that this is clearly a false statement.

    The insurance/health care environment is clearly going to change (if Obama is successful) so to tell me that I’ll be able to stay put in stormy waters is either misleading or misguided.

    I’m not sure which scares me worse, that he’s telling me something that is not true deliberately or because he doesn’t know any better.

    It doesn’t inspire confidence either way.

    reasons, no, he’s not alone, many of those who dwell in his other world inhabit this site

    Everybody likes their health care because they have it. There are no real choices in insurance… you get what your employer provides… IF you have an employer.
