ObiW Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 А шта је са Уством и права на слободу на које се позивају неки Републиканци?Ako uspeju da dokažu da "nemaju zdravlje", uspeće da dokažu da ih država tera da kupuju nešto im nije potrebno.
No7 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Чекај, а шта је са оних осталих 17 милиона који и даље нису осигурани?Мада се ја надам да се то неће десити јер че ово срокати САД економију иако другари из CBO причају другојачије, уз наравно прикривања разних врста. Why America's Health Care Is Still Going To Be Ridiculously ExpensiveThe passage of President Obama’s health care reform will make a difference in the live of tens of millions of people. The subsidies will make insurance affordable to millions of families who could not pay the unsubsidized rate. More importantly, by prohibiting insurers from discriminating against people with serious health conditions, those who are currently covered will have real insurance for the first time. People will no longer have to worry that a serious illness will cause them to lose their job and then their insurance.This is real progress, but the bill does little to change the fact that health care in the United States is ridiculously expensive and, if current trends continue, will grow more unaffordable through time. While many issues on controlling costs are complicated, some are very simple. At the top of the list is bringing the price of drugs, medical equipment, and medical supplies down to their competitive market price.Under the current system, patent monopolies allow drug companies and the manufacturers of medical equipment and supplies to charge prices that are often several thousand percent above the free market price. In the case of prescription drugs, the vast majority of drugs could be sold profitably as generics for just a few dollars per prescription, if there were no patent protection. Instead these drugs can sell for hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars per prescription.Је ли тачно да Обама има везе са фармацеутским корпорацијама? О томе се прича још од "епидемије свињског грипа".Уосталом,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apM0d3M-sps Edited March 23, 2010 by No7
ObiW Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Чекај, а шта је са оних осталих 17 милиона који и даље нису осигурани?Nisu nikada ni planirali 100% pokrivenost. U startu su otpali ilegalci, a kasnije i (skoro) svi koji nemaju državljanstvo. To su tih 17 miliona koji nisu obuhvaćeni.A da: generics se odavno prodaju po farmacijama. Većina zdravstvenih osiguranja ima nekoliko nivoa participacija za lekove: za generics je participacija 10 dolara po leku, za 2nd tier je 25 a za "originale" 45.Još jedan edit: u stvari ovaj zakon ima dve jako dobre stvari: ukidanje "pre-existing condition" kao razloga za odbijanje zahteva za osiguranjem, i omogućivanje malim firmama da se udruže (pod okriljem lokalne države) i da dobiju premije za zaposlene pod istim uslovima kao velike kompanije. Ovaj drugi uslov znatno obara cenu pretplate na zdravstveno osiguranje po zaposlenom. Edited March 23, 2010 by ObiW

Па покривени су сви амерички држвљани.Само ми није јасно како се тачно зна број илегалаца или је то онако одокативно? И, шта значи скоро сви?The huge gap between the patent protected price and the market price leads to the sort of corruption predicted by economic theory. Pharmaceutical companies mislead doctors and the public about the effectiveness and safety of the drug. They give kickbacks and even bribes to doctors for prescribing their drugs in addition to spending vast sums on marketing. And they spend a fortune lobbying Congress to get their patent monopolies extended and strengthened.The Obama administration took a pass in confronting the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, we will spend about $2 trillion more than necessary on prescription drugs over the next decade. This is money that gives us worse, not better, health care. Remove the corruption and we are more likely to get pills that are actually good for our health.We are also stuck with an insurance industry that will likely be more profitable and powerful than ever. The multi-millionaire wimps who run the insurance companies were terrified by the prospect of having to compete with a government-run plan. So people will not be able to buy into a Medicare-type public plan. The administrative waste in the private sector plans is equivalent to a tax of around $100 billion a year on our health care.We are also stuck with an over-supply of highly paid medical specialists, many of whom draw salaries in the range of $500,000 a year. We will not be able to support these people in the style to which they have become accustomed indefinitely.Because of the enormous power that these interest groups wield in Congress it is unlikely that they will be effectively challenged through legislative measures any time soon. Our best hope for reining in their power actually lies with the market: specifically through medical tourism.We are the only country in the world that is saddled with such a corrupt and dysfunctional health care system. As a result there are enormous potential savings from taking advantage of more efficient health care systems elsewhere.There are now facilities in India and Thailand that provide top quality medical care at prices that are often less than one-tenth as high as what people will pay in the United States. For medical procedures that can cost more than $100,000 or even $200,000, the gap is large enough to allow a patient, as well family members, to travel great distances and recuperate abroad, and still save enormous amounts of money.As a result, medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry. This should be encouraged. Progressives should embrace free trade and the market. We can give all the proponents off "free trade" and market fundamentalism the opportunity to be true to their principles. Public and private health care plans can be opened up to allow patients to get medical care that meets U.S. standards in other countries.We can yap all we want about health care reform, but the reality is that Washington is a cesspool. The special interests own the place and there is no plausible story in which legislation that seriously challenges the interests of the medical industrial complex has a prayer of passage any time soon.The only serious way to defeat the drug companies, insurance companies, medical specialists and their partners in crime is to go around them. Let them charge whatever price they want, as long as no one actually has to pay it. It’s absurd that people have to go half away around the world to get decent medical care, but when special interests control the government to the extent they do in Washington, there is no alternative.А можда Обама нема везе са фармацеутима?А можда и има,The PhRMA-Obama Connection Tuesday, February 23, 2010Fresh Air’s Terry Gross featured a fantastic piece of investigative reporting on her show yesterday, about secret meetings held between pharmaceutical industry executives and members of the Obama administration to negotiate elements of a health care reform bill that would be acceptable to the drug companies. The reporting, by Paul Blumenthal, a senior writer at the Sunlight Foundation, revealed that by hammering out a “secret” deal, “the Obama administration got the biggest lobby in Washington and put them on the side of health care reform.” At the same time, the drug industry was guaranteed that “Congress would not legislate any cost-cutting measures that would make a dent in industry profits.”Blumenthal said that the CEOs of pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and AstraZeneca attended a series of meetings at the White House throughout the spring and summer, and agreed to spend more than $150 million on ads touting a health care overhaul.The piece also tracks the controversial rise and fall of Billy Tauzin, the former Congressman turned drug industry lobbyist who recently left his $2 million a year post as president of PhRMA.

ObiW Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 А како онда није покривеност 100%? Па покривени су сви амерички држвљани.Само ми није јасно како се тачно зна број илегалаца или је то онако одокативно? И, шта значи скоро сви?Rekli su da je cilj negde oko 95% ili tako nešto slično. Ne znam ko spada u tih 5% za koje se u startu znalo da neće biti pokriveni.Kod ne-državljana postoje razne kategorije: ilegalci, turisti, studenti, radnici sa sezonskom dozvolom za rad (3 meseca), stručnjaci na usavršavanju, osobe sa privremenom dozvolom za rad na 3 godine, itd. Onda imaš ljude sa stalnom dozvolom za rad (zeleni karton) koji se izdaje na... valjda na 10 godina, može da se produži u nedogled. Ono što je donji dom izglasao prošle godine je obuhvatalo sve osobe sa stalnom dozvolom za rad. Onda je Senat rekao "ne svi, nego samo oni koji imaju zeleni karton duže od 5 godina" i izglasao takvu verziju zakona, koji je donji dom usvojio prekjuče. Takvih koji imaju zeleni karton više od 5 godina je malo, jer posle 5 godina uglavnom svi apliciraju za državljanstvo. Apliciraju za državljanstvo iz 3 razloga: prvi je da je Klinton uveo da se dobijanjem američkog državljanstva ne gubi domicilno. Drugi je da je Klinton uveo da osobe bez državljanstva ne mogu da primaju pomoć za nezaposlene ako izgube posao. Treći je da dobijanjem državljanstva prestaje opasnost da ti odbiju produženje zelenog kartona zbog prekršaja koji su benigni, ali ih je Parlament specifično naveo kao mogućnost da se odbije produženje stalnog boravka, kao što je recimo vožnja pod uticajem alkohola, posedovanje bilo koje droge osim male količine marihuane, prodaja alkohola maloletnicima, itd.Niko ne zna koliko ilegalaca ima, brojke se kreću od 10 do 20 miliona.
Прслин Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Niko ne zna koliko ilegalaca ima, brojke se kreću od 10 do 20 miliona.Таман колико има и незапослених.
No7 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Захваљујем на одговору ObiW. А сада ме занима још само једно. Rekli su da je cilj negde oko 95% ili tako nešto slično. Ne znam ko spada u tih 5% za koje se u startu znalo da neće biti pokriveni.Да ли ти мислиш да тих 5% америчких држављана који нису осигурани би могли бити искоришћени од стране Републиканаца да пред Уставним судом оборе ово што је донесено?

Bitno je ko je sada u tom sudu protiv a ko za. Ovaj sud kakav je sada je često donosio odluke 5-4 za jednu ili za drugu stranu; jedan konzervativni sudija koji namerava u penziju dok je na vlasti demokrata bi lako mogao da naruši ravnotežu.
No7 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Захваљујем. Мада ја мислим да тактика Републиканаца је била, пре свега , одвоје Обаму од незапослености што више и да га што више изморе са Здравством и мислим да су у томе успели јер ово је требало да буде усвојено пре 5 месеци а Обама је најављивао до септембра 2009. године. Али видећемо.
WTF Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Ako dodje to do ustavnog suda nece biti nimalo naivno kad se uzme trenutni odnos snaga tamo. Jedino da se Stevens do tada penzionise i zameni nekim liberalnijim sudijom.A to je tacno, izmorili su Obamu nevidjeno sa ovime, i ne toliko ni GOP koliko ovi iz Demokratske Partije sto su se usrali od teabaggera i drugih manijaka. Ostalo mu sad 5 meseci da odradi ekonomsku i imigracionu reformu - nema sanse! Edited March 23, 2010 by WTF

Прслин Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Хусеин Обама потписао закон користећи 22 оловке, да има да дели као сувенир. Тајмс каже "With only 18 letters in Barack Hussein Obama and 22 pens, however, the President had to be creative with his pen strokes." :D Циркус.
ObiW Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Ti ne znaš da je to (potpisivanje zakona sa nekoliko olovaka) običaj, da to svaki predsednik radi kada potpisuje upravo donešen zakon, i da niti Obama niti ovaj zakon nisu poseban izuzetak?
