obama makes new rules

[joevol320]

I'm not making any assertions that Obama knows anything. However, it just sounds logical to me that preventing and catching potentially deadly diseases that have high costs for treatment early so the need for the high cost can potentially be avoided. I would assume that insurance companies do have studies on this kind of thing but I have no knowledge of the findings. I am just saying what sounds logical to me. Doesn't make it right by any means...

do you not understand that it cost do that?

do you not understand that a federal government is forcing a private company to provide a service.

why doesn't the government offer free speakers or free ipods, when does it end?

Providing preventative measures to help catch signs of serious diseases and providing ipods and speakers is such a great analogy. Good grief.

Please read above. I do not think's it's ok. It's becoming difficult to even have a conversation with some in this forum if you look at something in a different way.

I was not trying to be difficult toward you. I really was not directing that toward you. I was talking about the left in general.

but the point is that even if this move increased life expectancy to 150yo and cured all cancer/Aids/ED Obama doesn't have the ability to force private companies to do it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Good catch.

obviously you don't understand it.

Has there been a president in history that did not institute some type of policy or bill that didn't regulate some part of the private sector?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

obviously you don't understand it.

Based on what? What have I stated that led you to believe that I thought it would not cost private insurers a thing to institute this measure. Please enlighten me.

There is no bill. And a Pres that forced a private company to provide a product/service for free? Can't think of one

This isn't part of the healthcare bill?

I understood it as the "preventative care" was part of it but now they are being defined by the WH. I guess it's what happens when a bill is out there that no one has read

This is the key point. It is done under the auspices of the HCR bill but I don't know that this specific authority is spelled out.

Additionally, to claim these tests are "free" is ludicrous. Premiums will go up.

We are screwed.

How do you know? What if private insurance companies see a large dip in the number of high price operations and treatments for diseases that if caught earlier could have been treated and prevented the operation or treatment?

Because someone always has to pay for it. Always.

You make an excellent point............the next persident needs to push for DE-regulation of just about everything. This government is bloated beyond imagination and has its claws into about everything. The constitution doesn't allow for that.

You think that the "tests" are as far as he will go if he is allowed to keep pushing this junk? I don't think so, in fact I would not be suprised if dear leader tries to pass legislation against obesity, then the government will be in YOUR refrigerator.
