Quick Fact: Hannity falsely suggests Democratic health bills would "actually" only insure "12 million" people

Sad to say, that may be true, if the state opt-out is allowed. In a lot of states, even, some of the heavily democratic states will be at the mercy of those not representing the populace. Those against it will throw millions or billions of dollars into propaganda and to flood the Internet and E-mails to turn the heads of the ill informed. If you think gridlock is a problem in federal government, check it out on the various state levels.
If an opt-out is passed, it must require at least a 2/3 majority in the state house, the senate and a governor's signature, and allow time for the people to petition that the opt-out does not occur. Only Hawaii has the right to Opt-Out, since their health care system is on a par with those countries that have decent systems.

FACT: Coverage doesn't equal care.

FACT: Most Americans want guaranteed access to care, not a freakin' overpriced piece of crap policy.

I don't want "coverage," I want Medicare for all! I want single-payer. I want out from under the oppressive regime of the both Democratic and Republican kleptocrats.

Here in Washington, we have mandatory auto insurance that I already can't afford. With what money am I supposed to enrich the same fat cats that have driven us into this ditch in the first place?

The CBO estimates a reduction of the number of uninsured over a decade. Reducing the Medicare enrollment age to 0 would have a greater effect much faster.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) estimated that the percentage of uninsured Americans under age 65 represented 27 percent of the population. According to the MEPS data, nearly 54 million Americans under the age of 65 were uninsured in the first-half of 2007. Source: Chu, M. C. and J. Rhoades, The Uninsured in America, 1996-2007: Estimates for the the U.S. Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population Under Age 65, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, AHRQ, Statistical Brief #214, July 2008. http://nchc.org/facts-resources/quick-facts/percentage-uninsured-americans-under-age-65-represented-27-percent-popul

A recent study shows that based on the effects of the recession alone (not job loss), it is projected that nearly seven (7) million Americans will lose their health insurance coverage between 2008 and 2010. Urban Institute researchers estimate that if unemployment reaches 10 percent, another six (6) million Americans will lose their health insurance coverage. Taking these numbers together, it is conceivable that by next year, 57 to 60 million Americans will be uninsured. Source: Gilmer, T. P. and R. G.

Subtracting 36 million from over 54 million gives us over 18; adding the estimated losses puts that at over 24 million just by next year. Adding just half the number of losses over a decade (30 million), we'll be right where we are today.

On top of taking too long, and not covering enough of us, the crappy policies only have to cover 60-65% of what actuarial tables say will be our probable health care costs--if they decide to pay any claims we may make. And for this we're supposed to celebrate?

Emmanuel is said to fear the power of advertising. He wants the special interest money for his team. So we have a de facto takeover by corporate interests: They socialize the costs, and privatize the profits.

Thanks for selling us down the river for obscene profits that will finance your political careers, Rahm and Barack. Except you were elected to govern, not campaign.

Medicare for all!

Good to know that Hannity wants comprehensive universal coverage and will settle for nothing less.

Thanks Hannity for doing your job in helping America stay misinformed. Your a great American! (NOT).

Quick Fact: Hannity falsely suggests Democratic health bills would "actually" only insure "12 million" people

Even if that were true, it's better than the GOP plan, which doesn't exist, and therefore would insure no people at all, which is precisely the point Hannity is trying to cover up.

Actually, as of November 18 the CBO says by 2019 that we will have 24 million uninsured. This new bill does nothing for true health reform or help those who really need an option.

Sorry, if you take the 31 million Degraff is saying and subract the 24 million that the CBO ( as of Nov 18) is saying are going to be uninsured as of 2019 you only get 7 million getting insurance. This bill is bogus.
