Therein lies the dilemma. Being a realist, you are going to get absolute backlash from American's the second the media picks up on a story of an individual who dies on a hospital floor because he doesn't have enough money. It literally is an impossibility in our current economic climate. Politicians would never allow it to happen under their watch except for the crazy Libertarian's who don't really care for anyone but themselves. So knowing that, now what is the solution?

That is why ever Democrat should sponsor at lease one poor person and pay their healthcare. Problem solved DEAC. Here's an idea. You go first. Get the ball rolling. I can honestly see all you Dems solving this crisis in just a matter of months. Keep me posted DEAC. I'm am so proud of you for doing this.
What kind of backlash will there be when Obamacare and the health rationing/death panels start by sending home older folks who will cost more then younger folks who will be paying taxes longer then the old folks sent home?
How will you feel if one of your loved ones gets sick, and is old, and a useless non doctor in Washington makes the decision to sent your loved one home because she/he is to old to care for? yuou say You are a realist? Well that is a real situation with your beloved Hussein healthcare.
Of course it is not said that way in the bill, but every poitician who has actually read it, knows that is what is in store for us Americans. Some of the Congress people who are real MD doctors know this, and have said so many times, but it is not printed by the news media.
As of March 23
On the eve of the Supreme Court oral arguments in the biggest constitutional case in decades, ObamaCare, Congress has taken steps to repeal another component of the unconstitutional law.
As AFP reported, “The bill, adopted by lawmakers 223-181, including seven Democrats, would scrap a 15-member panel established to control costs for elderly beneficiaries of the government-run Medicare program.”
This bill would remove the particularly dangerous healthcare rationing panel from ObamaCare. The true danger of this panel comes from the seemingly innocuous purpose of controlling costs.
This “board of unelected bureaucrats to control costs,” as House Majority leader Eric Cantor calls it, would have dangerous power over individual health care decisions because the easiest way to control cost is to cut services.
This means your personal medical decisions will be in the hands of unelected government bureaucrats rather than you and your doctor.
It is just one of the many dangers of ObamaCare, and this important vote by Congress is just one of the many steps toward undoing this pro-abortion law that stands as an affront to our constitutional liberty.
The bill now moves to the Senate, though I am not sure anyone trusts the pro-ObamaCare Senate any more than a 15 member healthcare rationing panel to do the right thing.
While, as Jay Sekulow, ACLJ Chief Counsel, has repeatedly said, this bill will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court when it hears the case next week, it is critical that we dismantle every piece of the unconstitutional law along they way.
It would work. Like I said, get people to buy their own insurance, which about 75% of the unemployed can afford. I've been buying my own out of pocket for over 10 years and I currently pay less then $100 a month for mine, and I can't be billed over $5000 a year for health care. For the truly poor or people with chronic health problems that would make them pay high premiums, the government could step in and help. But everyone would have some health insurance.
You are too dumb for words... They are not going to deny seniors health coverage. That is absurd and the fact you believe it just goes to how brainwashed and uneducated conservatives really are!! I would suggest you stop worrying about politics.

Yes, but it is how it is done. They started the problem by stepping on doctors' toes, telling them they have to treat everyone regardless of their ability to pay. They then step on everyones' toes and force them to buy a private company's produce. We can fix this with more freedom, not less, while lowering the money spent on healthcare.
Heres another who doesnt know anything...
I'm a pharmacist married to a retired army officer. We have a disabled child and this new law scares us to death. We have Tricare (military insurance) because it's all we can afford. We have many expenses for our child that the average family doesn't have. We can afford to pay cash to a doctor to see our daughter and for lab expenses for awhile but we are not rich. At 50 years old there are only so many more years that we can work and that's assuming that our employers are willing to keep us on the job instead of finding a way to get rid of us and hire someone younger who they can pay less. I really don't know what we are going to do if we need a lot of hospital care for our daughter because under this new law new hospitals cannot be built without government approval, which of course the government isn't going to give. Will there be a way of paying cash to a hospital for care the government insurance won't agree to? We don't know. Will there be hospital ships set up by private doctors off the coast of various states where they will not be subject to US law?
I have personally read over a third of the health care law (and it was absolutely boring and a lot of gobbledygook - I had to go thru a lot of caffeine to read that far). I have seen with my own eyes the section of the law that not only will be used to limit care to the disabled but it says that the government is going to have limits on whether or not disabled patients can Even Enroll in insurance plans!!

"More Freedom" doesn't mean anything. What will actually fix it by allowing "more freedom"? The baseline is that anyone who needs healthcare will get it, so how do you make it more affordable for those that can afford it? You are still going off an assumption that doctors have a choice to treat patients.
