White House Admits They Will Shrink Private HC Market
In their zeal to reposition themselves on the illegal immigrant HC issue, the White House provided the clarification below. But they didn’t just provide clarification on the illegal immigrant HC issue. They revealed what many of us knew all along. That their Government Run Health Insurance Exchange with their Government Run Public Option was meant to shrink and eventually eliminate the Private Health Care Insurance Market. The White House’s 2nd bullet point says it all.
The bullet points sent sent directly by the White House:
- Undocumented immigrants would not be able to buy private insurance on the exchange. Those who are lawfully present in this country would be able to participate.
- Undocumented immigrants would be able to buy insurance in the non-exchange private market, just as they do today. That market will shrink as the exchange takes hold, but it will still exist and will be subject to reforms such as the bans on pre-existing conditions and caps.
- Verification will be required when purchasing health insurance on the exchange. One option is the SAVE program (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) which states currently use to make sure that undocumented immigrants don’t participate in safety-net programs for which they are ineligible.
- There would be no change in the law that requires emergency rooms to treat people who need emergency care, including undocumented immigrants. There is already a federal grant program that compensates states for emergency room costs associated with treatment of undocumented immigrants, a provision sponsored by a Republican lawmaker
OOPS!! Looks like the White House is all about competition huh?

Just as we all expected, our country along with all of her citizens are getting the shaft. AGAIN !!! We all knew that Barry along with his evil cohorts harry and nancy were lying and scheming about this bill. We knew that they would do anything in their power to make sure that this turned into a completely government run healthcare system. So they didn't get their public option. They didn't have to, because they built it into the bill to quickly phase out any private insurance just like we all suspected and have only govt run. Also, does anyone remember hearing about the medical corps. He is trying to pass it off like it has been done for years. He is full of crap. If you actually Joined the Military, you could go to college on one of the ROTC programs. But that was for people who actually knew what they were getting into and had designs on joining the military. It wasn't because the govt took over the college loan industry and now has started a program that traps you into compuslsary service. This service is not the same as the military, yet they want to give some of the same bennies too. This is also a slap in the face to Military personnel. Also what oath are these people taking since they are directly under the potus and he wants to graduate them into the regular military and activate them . Does this mean that they do not take an oath to the constitution but that they take an oath to the potus. Is this how he is going to change it and slip it in ? He is such a low life, dirty, underhanded, slimey, skanky, miserable, disgusting, unamerican, unworthy of anything, snake in the grass. He needs to be impeached and tried for treason, along with his partners in crime. Then thrown in the brigg and the keys lost forever. I really hate them for what they are doing to my country. All Americans need to put a stop to this NOW !!!
