Declaration Of Health Care Coverage: Fill & Download for Free

What is the Republican Party's plan to handle the needs of those millions who will lose their current health care coverage under the ACA?Pushing millions back to emergency room care will be the result of their lack of a plan.But that’s covered by a different budget, so even though the people who need healthcare and the taxpayers who will fund emergency room care rates get screwed, the Republicans will try to declare victory.Those who need serious ongoing treatment for things like cancer are destined for the morgue.Update: Since posting my answer, a few things have happened.The Senate plan was rejected, thanks to John McCain’s absenteeism and two courageous Republican Senators who should be commended.Trump and McConnell both immediately took the position that if they can’t get the ‘repeal + replace’ Bill passed, they should just default to the 2015 ‘repeal’ bill, with a built-in 2 -year delay. Important notes: 1) Republicans have already had 8 years and have failed to table an acceptable Bill, so it’s unlikely anything would change in 2 more years, 2) The CBO said 30M people would lose healthcare and premiums would double with that plan. It’s known as the “I can’t get my way, so let’s burn it down plan”.Three courageous women Senators said they would not support the ‘burn it down’ plan, so it’s dead for now.Dear Leader Trump said he blames everyone but himself and feels no ownership for the healthcare of American citizens. He’s happy to let it crash and burn, and I believe he’ll sabotage the ACA. The chaos from the Trump admin is now the main problem for the insurers–they can’t price their plans amidst the uncertainty. That’s what the insurers are telling us.Worst POTUS ever. EVER!

Hello!That’s only half of the story.Meet Missouri State Rep. Justin Hill:Hill openly declared during Tuesday’s state House hearing that he would defy the will of Missouri's voters for their own good."Even though my constituents voted for this lie," Hill told fellow lawmakers, "I'm going to protect them. I am proud to stand against the will of the people."Rep Justin Hill: "I am proud to stand against the will of voters."— Sarah Unsicker (@SarahUnsicker) March 30, 2021Let that sink in, having so much hatred for not only people in need but for your own constituents who voted for you. AND, implying they’re too stupid to know what they were voting on last August.To be fair to Hill, most of his colleagues are equally appalling and horrible. One said and I quote, this is “a slow march to socialism,” others said, Missourians without jobs must simply work harder, because bootstraps. And the best quote, in this case worst, “We’re not a democracy.” The GQP proves that every single day…What’s at stake? The expansion worth $130 million would have secured a federal match of about $1.4 billion to pay for the program and bring 230,000 Missourians earning less than $18,000 a year under the health care coverage beginning July 1. The state would also get an additional $1 billion over the next two years to help implement the program.Missouri voters passed Medicaid expansion. Now state Republicans may not pay for it.The Missouri House Budget Committee voted along partisan lines late last week to drop $130 million for Medicaid expansion from Republican Gov. Mike Parsons' budget.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/missouri-voters-passed-medicaid-expansion-now-state-republicans-may-not-n1262539But all hope’s not lost. The state Senate still has to vote on this so there’s a slim chance they’ll vote differently and respect the will of the voters. If not, and that’s a distinct possibility, there’s no doubt that the courts will decide this matter.Fun fact: At one point on Tuesday, an amendment was offered to end taxpayer-supported health insurance for members of the General Assembly until Medicaid is expanded. It lost, of course. After all, Health care for lawmakers is essential. For their constituents aka filthy takers aka plebes, it’s a slow march to socialism.Time to make a painting…This artwork! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/7ctdJ1Eae9— Buitengebieden (@buitengebieden_) March 31, 2021Toodles!

I miss it when I have a chest infection and it'll be a week before I can get an appointment with a doctor. And even if I still have my symptoms by then, I'll sit in the waiting room for an hour or more.I miss it when I have a toothache or I want a dental cleaning I have to wait at least a few days or longer for a dental appointment.Not. Where I am, I can usually get an appointment the same day. Or if the doc is really booked up maybe tomorrow.I miss it when I finally get to see the doc he spends less than 5 minutes with me, asks very few questions, forms a conclusion, writes a prescription, then he's gone. Without taking the time to answer any questions about my illness or the drugs he just prescribed. And then I get a 3-figure bill for those five minutes. Are they billing me for rent while I was in the waiting room?Not. I've lived in three different developing countries outside the USA, and in each the doc gives me all the answers I need to feel confident in his diagnosis and prescription. It's not unusual for the doc to give me his mobile phone number and ask me to check in with him/her if the problem persists. And he actually answers the phone/or responds to a SMS message!I have never paid more than $30 for an office visit outside the USA.I miss health insurance payments that range somewhere between a new car payment and a mortgage. And budget-busting surprise annual premium increases of 20% or more. If I miss a payment the insurer might drop me… and then I have a coverage lapse - a disqualifier for any other insurance company to pick me up at literally any price.Not. Where I am - even as an expat - I can buy into universal healthcare coverage for a few hundred bucks a year. It's not glamorous coverage, but it has paid more than 50% both times I used it.I miss the cost of prescription drugs.Not. My cost for drugs is anywhere from 20–50% of what Americans pay. Name brand or generic. Oh, and once a doc writes a script I can use that over and over again rather than having the pharmacist take it - thus forcing me to pay another doctor visit to get a new scrip.I miss insurance companies rejecting claims as a business practice, figuring some percentage of insureds won't challenge their decision. And then, it takes months of trying, and hours sitting on hold to get their phony rejection reversed.I miss having to fill out 3–5 pages of paperwork and sign all kinds of forms on a first visit to a doctor or hospital. And the first question out of the receptionist's mouth is not about my health, but rather about my insurance.I miss paying years of sky-high premiums and still having to worry about having to declare personal bankruptcy, were I to contract an extended illness that exceeded policy maximums, and having to fight the insurance company day-in, day-out.I miss $2-5K annual deductibles before my expensive insurance pays anything.I miss going to an in-network hospital then getting a bill for thousands of bucks for out-of-network physicians who work there.NOT.Let's face it. American health care may not be the worst in the world, but it's striving to be. I guess that's what happens when health care is operated by profiteers rather than people who operate on the ideal of health care as a compassionate service.It's the world's most expensive, and the outcomes are poorer than those of most other developed countries.
