Kerry is also correct when he says his plan can "lower . . . premiums" for health insurance, though he fails to mention that most of the savings would result from shifting the expense to federal taxpayers. The heart of the Kerry plan would have the federal government pay health plans 75% of the cost of "catastrophic" medical bills -- roughly those over $50,000 a year for one patient -- in return for which the plans would agree to cut the premiums charged to workers by 10%. Thorpe estimates that Kerry's reinsurance plan alone would cost the government $257 billion over 10 years. Thorpe estimates the cost of the entire Kerry healthcare package at $653 billion over 10 years, even after subtracting estimated savings from such things as increased use of computerized medical claims and requirements for more aggressive "disease management" of such expensive ailments as congestive heart failure and diabetes.
From Fact Check.
Taxpayers pay so premiums get lowered?
No. Ill tell you my fucking plan- All these frivilous lawsuits cost doctoers insurance costs to go up- which costs more money and premiums rise.
And his running mate- Edwards- that fucker made his living chasing ambulances- hes one of the reasons healthcare costs are so high.
If there was a healthcare reform- it needs to start with the courts- not with taxes.Frivilous lawsuits raise insruance costs for doctoers malpractice- and the " man with the plan" john kerrys running mate is a fucking ambulance chaser
kthxbye
