Adorable Puppy Explains Health Care Bill
In which John offers a summary of the health care reform bill that just passed the U.S. senate, discussing the insurance exchange market, pre-existing condition clauses, medicare taxes, and other fine points of the still-under-debate bill. Here’s a good explanation of how the insurance exchanges will look like: http://bit.ly/eIwNE

About abortion: The senate plan works like this: Policies covering abortion would be available in the exchange market (at least in some states), but those plans would have to collect two separate premiums–one covering everything other than abortion, and one for abortion coverage. The subsidy (available to all families making less than about $88,000 a year depending on number of kids) would only apply to the non-abortion policy.
If this seems like a hilariously stupid distinction, that’s because it is. Ultimately, it of course doesn’t matter which policy the subsidy goes toward. But then again, every federal program “supports” abortion in some way. For instance, without federally funded highways, it would be impossible for most women to get abortions. All government spending indirectly goes to support all activity in America, but it’s ridiculous to say that, for instance, food stamps encourage meth use, even though sometimes people trade meth for food they bought with food stamps. It’s equally disingenuous to say that this bill will allow federal funding of abortions, unless you’re willing to argue that all government spending funds abortion.

How can citizens be denied healthcare and education in a supposedly free country?
Many of the working poor don’t qualify for Medicaid, Pell Grants, or student loans, yet can’t afford private insurance or tuition. They are effectively denied Healthcare and education. This is a crime against humanity. The UN should invade the US and impose democracy on this one-party aristocracy masquerading as a two-party republic.
It’s a little early to be eating that many mushrooms. The UN can’t invade the USA because they are already here and we as citizens have more guns than they do.
