Americans really wish they had elected Mitt Romney instead of Obama

[teapartysamurai]

That's the problem! AMERICANS wished Romney had won.

Those who hate America, voted for Obama.

 

[bendog]

Too bad Romney didn't run as today's Romney instead of the Tea Party Romney.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Too bad Romney didn't run as today's Romney instead of the Tea Party Romney.

Indeed.

 

[Redfish]

Too bad Romney didn't run as today's Romney instead of the Tea Party Romney.

He was the same guy then, the media lied to you and you bought it. Now, thanks to the lying media, we have the worst president in history.

an ignorant electorate is exactly what puts tyrants in power.

See part of the idiots that say insurance companies "SCAM" is they are totally ignorant as to the role insurance companies play in health care financial management!
Would you the individual reader of this comment have enough money to pay out of pocket a $3,000 CAT scan? Or a $20,000 hospital stay?
Who pays it then? The insurance company or medicare or you are billed and put into bankruptcy!

So where magically did the insurance company get the money to pay the claims? Evidently idiots think ins. co prints the money.. they don't!
It comes from premiums paid by employers' or the insured... over a period of time.
So you idiots that think ins. cos. are SCAMMING consider this:
80% of all premium income goes out in CLAIMS paid to the providers!
3% are profits before taxes leaving 17% for salaries, (yea those really exorbitant executives...equipment, rent,etc..
So tell me idiots where is the scam????

Proof I'm right???

the nation's largest health insurers in 2009 had medical loss ratios ranging from 68 percent to 88 percent in the individual market;
78 percent to 84 percent in the small-group market; and
83 percent to 88 percent in the large-group market.
Because states have defined what constitutes medical care differently, their medical loss ratios differ even more than these numbers would suggest.

GEEZ it is great to have the FACTS so easy and at hand from the internet rather then the idiotic GUESSES by idiots!!!

Mutual insurance companies book no profit. ZERO.

Obama was and still is the superior choice to McCain or Romney.

Just words that are designed to make you feel better.

In the meantime, the majority of Americans believe differently.

Yep folks, after great though, deep deliberation, and careful judgement, BillyP has determined that being able to "raise his arms all the way up" is now the main qualification for a presidential candidate.

Good for you,

That's not a cow, that's a little girl. You're confused again, unless you're saying that you're a little girl calling me a cow. Rather juvenile, like a 7th grader.

More obession with Romney's underwear? Someone should warn him to make sure his curtains are closed when changing at night. Billy might be a-peepin.

You do realize that Dr Ben Carson wants to have all healthcare insurance providers be non-profit to help lower the cost by taking the profit out of the equation.
===========================================

Regulate insurance companies as non-profit services
Today, insurance companies call the shots on what they want to pay, to whom, and when. Consequently, even busy doctors operate with a very slim profit of margin.
This is an ideal place for the intervention of government regulators who, with the help of medical professionals, could establish fair and consistent remuneration. To accomplish this, essentially all of the insurance companies would have to become non-profit service organizations with standardized, regulated profit margins.

This is not the paradigm that I see for all businesses, [but] is uniquely appropriate for the health-insurance industry, which deals with people's lives and quality of existence. That may sound radical, but is it as radical as allowing a company to increase its profits by denying care to sick individuals? In the long run this would also be good for the insurance companies, who could then concentrate on providing good service, rather than focusing on undercutting their competitors and increasing their profit margin.

Ben Carson on Health Care

I really like Ben Carson and am honestly disappointed in his lack of understanding how health insurance works as the above illustrates.
Dr. Carson would also agree though that insurance companies paying claims for "defensive medicine" practices that per doctors cost over $850 billion a year is the number one cost driver..
The Consensus is that Defensive Medicine Caused by Unlimited Lawsuits is a Real Problem

Committee Reports, 112th U.S. Congress (2011-2012), House Report 112-470 as catalogued by The Library of Congress

President Obama himself acknowledged the harm caused by defensive medicine, stating `I want to work with the AMA so we can scale back the excessive defensive medicine that reinforces our current system, and shift to a system where we are providing better care, simply--rather than simply more treatment.' 21

- See more at: Congressional Report on Defensive Medicine | Defensive Medicine News

"Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine in US at $650 to $850 billion per year. This is 26 to 34% of all US healthcare costs.
Up to 92% of US physicians practice defensive medicine.
76% of physicians report that defensive medicine decreases patient access to healthcare.
53% of physicians report delaying new techniques, procedures, and treatments due to fear of lawsuits.
Patients most affected by defensive medicine include those visiting emergency rooms and those requiring surgery.
Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
Physicians contracted by the federal government practice significantly less defensive medicine as they are protected against lawsuits by the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Only 48% practice defensive medicine compared to 92% of non-government physicians.

89% of physicians support a patient’s right to be compensated fairly for true negligence.

It's moot anyway.
Isn't Obama going to proclaim himself Emperor for life and cancel the elections...or something?

Yep math is definitely not the friend of the far left when less than 50% of the voting public actually votes.

But then again why would the far left care about actual numbers anyway, they are loyal programmed subjects that will vote far left no matter how much worse the far left candidate (Obama) is worse than Bush.

Anyways Romney is already a two time loser, he lost the last election to Barry, and he's a Mormon.
