10 Things Congress Can Do to Reduce Health Care Costs Now
WASHINGTON DC. There is much talk about healthcare, specifically “Obamacare” and the push to repeal and replace it. The costs of government healthcare spending exceeded $10.6 Trillion in President Obama’s first four years. Clearly even with the passage of ACA “Obamacare,” costs and spending are going up at a rate of $100 Billion more per year from 2009-2012.
Most of healthcare costs are due to the uninsured, yet everyone else is currently being forced to pay this. The Obamacare healthcare law was based on a deception from day one.
The architect of Obamacare, John Gruber said on camera that the intent of the (Obama) healthcare law was to deceive the American public in order to get it passed, and consumers are still being misled about the true costs of their government ran healthcare.
President Obama erroneously said that healthcare premiums could fall as much as 3,000% (Video). That statement is untrue. In insurance math you can’t have a negative premium. A premium could theoretically only fall up to 100% then it is free. Any number below zero would mean the insurance company is paying you to have the policy.
Seniors are also being affected by government-ran healthcare in terms of higher costs. In 2015, Obamacare will cut $1.35 Billion from California seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage says California Congressman Darrell Issa.
Jobs are also being hurt by a healthcare law that was not supposed to kill American jobs, and the total impact on the U.S. economy and the national debt is damaging.
President Obama has admitted that the government is not as efficient as the private sector. Thus we should move healthcare back to the private sector and Congress can write healthcare laws that are more friendly to the consumer, the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies where we can all save money.
