Thirty-four year old Geronimo Jones, hypochondriac and confirmed cheapskate, was lying in bed painfully pondering. He’d been

25Economist state that there could have been a lot more done to help our health care deficit, for example breaking Medicare up into smaller companies and allowing health insurance competition from state to state. But that is not the solution being proposed in the reform bills. Instead congress wants to expand health care spending to an additional 50 million people in an undefined, taxpayer financed, and government run plan. The House is proposing over $900 billion in new spending. Congressional democrats are guilty of hiding the costs in the public option proposed bill. It took Medicare more than 50 years to experience deficits based on revenue losses.

A recent New York Times highlighted Maine’s attempts at comprehensive healthcare reform. Their experiences serve as a cautionary tale for Congress.

Contrary to the promises of public option supporters, health care costs have only continued to rise in the state.
Reasons for the high health care costs range from the state-specific to the general. Unli

The reform bill passed in the House has the potential to change what all health insurance plans cover. An amendment proposed by Bart Stupak, which passed in the House of Representatives, prevents federal funding from being used to buy any health insurance plan that offers coverage of elective abortions. In exchange for the votes of pro-life Democrats essential to pass the legislation, the healthcare reform bill was modified. The previous language only prevented government money from being used directly to pay for an abortion.
Obviously, the public option will not include abortion coverage.
