The Baucus Plan Solves Nothing

The Baucus Plan Solves Nothing

The Issue

The Baucus Plan solves nothing. There is no reform for existing insurance companies. There is no public option for those in favor of Universal Health Care. The plan does nothing but tax insurance companies to create untested Not-For-Profit Health Care organizations that have no tested results. It is important for us to voice our discontent with the current plan, that alienates liberals and conservatives alike.

 

-There is no public option to compete with private insurance companies to lower rates and encourage better provision of services

-It seeks to raise money by taxing insurance companies, resulting in insurance companies passing along costs to middle-class families via increased premiums

-Increased premiums will result in more families being unable to afford health insurance

-The "Free Rider" provision will give companies an incentive to not hire low-income workers, decreasing the likelihood of employment for the disadvantaged lower class

-Funding cuts to Medicare Advantage, a program that allows people to receive Medicare benefits through private insurance programs, which, results in a better quality of service for the elderly
