i think the mandatory part of his healthcare plan is just for the preventitive maintenance. in that aspect the plan will cost less over the long run because you catch major issues earlier. i'm still not sold on the idea though and have many questions. one would be about how doctors interpret the language of it. doctors do disagree on a lot of things and i'd hate to be caught in the middle of a misdiagnosis under that plan.
under his healthcare plan even though the checkups are mandatory(good idea)are you going to be able to decline treatment without penalty. what if two physicians disagree on the treatment plan? what happens to your coverage in any of those scenarios?

Id be more interested in if your healthcare became universal instead of *****ing over the word "mandatory".....and to king.....here if 2 docs disagree there is no fighting about who pays your coverage....it just is!

thanks gypsy. i may be putting too much into it but they are questions that i'd need answered since my healthcare under the plan would depend on whether or not i followed the provisions of the plan.

Here is the plan king In depth:

The questions you ask and the assumptions and fallacies addressed on this thread are answered under the section, AFFORDABLE AND ACCOUNTABLE HEALTH CARE

thanks for the link fanta. i've read the plan before and it doesn't answer my questions.

I already get my yearly mammogram and paps smeart etc.BUT I will not be letting someone up my ass for any reason.i **** well and eat grain.i think making it mandatory may go against some americans religou or personal believes.would alternative medicine be included.how about experimental or new treatments?I think people should be given the choice to sign up,not make it mandated.

I agree with King. What happens if you decline for any reason? An obvious example I am thinking of is a person who has a family history of a disease. What if you know that you never want to know if you've got it or not? How does the gov't handle it if you want to decline a diagnosis or treatment?

Like I said, offering the *option* of certain preventative programs is great, but making it 'mandatory' is just ridiculous. Besides, it's assuming that everyone's health falls into the same category/timeline. My entire family has never had any major medical problems and I'd hate to be subject to all these tests just because supposed a certain population at a certain age is at risk for this or that.

I give up its obvious yall arent reading the plan!

And people wonder why nothing changes!!!!!

GEEEeezzze

I did read it.

You need to be more specific about your gripes.

BTW...he promotes "disparities" within groups. Yeah, right. My point still stands. You can't tailor make healthcare. It just doesn't work that way.



Oh, and FYI...everytime I see your handle, I think of the orange soda. Do you love that stuff, or what??

Anytime I see the words affordable and accountable attached to a government plan, it tells me that it is nothing more than pandering for votes.

Thats where it came from!!!
