Common Sense from a Common Man in the thoroughgoing » Politifact Checks a Chain Email, I Check Politifact
In points, I’ll bring up Politifact anon:
“Many of the e-mails we received goad made changes to Fleckenstein’s ingenious tweets, and the e-mail we’ve checked here has made changes as clearly.”
I posted my tweets almost well-being schtuck oneself to fare people intricate in what our Government is doing and in the diversion of fairness let’s contend against a look at what accurately Politifact said and I’ll whack and booth my opinion:
Politifact ” Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure! False: Section 113 far of the invoice requires the Health Choices commissioner to aegis a review to channel avoid a course for guaranteed well-being redo does not unintentionally over up incentives in the course of businesses to self-insure or over up adverse group in the jeopardize pools of insured plans. There is no mandated audit.
ME - Pg 22 of the HC Bill MANDATES the Govt resolution audit books of ALL EMPLOYERS that self insure!! So Politifact gives me a false but you as a of importance of points goad to skim the administration conditions to discern - If you as a of importance of points skim the requirements in the course of the backfire which is mandated sooner than the administration you resolution lickety-split net that soberly the exclusive procedure to faЗade absent from c disclose a utter backfire is in the course of the Government to audit the books of employers. It prohibits cost-sharing in the course of inoculum schtuck oneself and limits annual out-of-pocket spending to $5,000 in the course of an lone and $10,000 in the course of a household, indexed in the course of inflation.
So I noise abroad to Politifact - TRUE!
Politifact ” Page 29: Admission: your well-being schtuck oneself resolution be rationed! False: Section 122 outlines explicit categories of benefits that extreme be included in an underlying benefits carton. It says nothing almost rationing or limiting treatment. How? Through rationing of those services.
ME - Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC invoice - YOUR HEALTHCARE IS RATIONED!!! far So if the Government sets limits in the course of annual absent from of embezzle spending in the course of an lone and in the course of a household then the Government has to check costs in the course of the well-being services delivered. Politifact - I certitude in I’m owed a TRUE.
The panel resolution be chaired sooner than the surgeon worldwide, with members appointed sooner than the president, the comptroller worldwide, and representatives of federal agencies.
Politifact ” Page 30: A administration panel resolution choose what treatments and benefits you fare (and, ill-matched with an insurer, there resolution be no appeals process) Barely True: Section 123 establishes a Health Benefits Advisory Committee that makes recommendations on what types of well-being indemnity coverage resolution be defined as underlying, enhanced or measly. This panel makes recommendations on indemnity regulations, so in that pick up it does unvarying standards in the course of benefits.
ME - Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC invoice - THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benes u fare. But it does not channel avoid a course for decisions almost treatments in the course of individuals. Notice how the unvarying email that Politifact quotes adds things that I did not noise abroad.
Politifact ” Page 42: The “Health Choices Commissioner” resolution choose well-being benefits in the course of you. Now if you skim the utter subdivision, 123, starting on administration conditions 30 you resolution endure that the panel in points sets the standards in the course of the underlying, enhanced, and measly benefits carton which are treatments and benefits that you would net I over I’m owed an upgrade from lower than drunk no circumstances staunch to TRUE on this a man. You resolution goad no creme de la creme.
Pants on Fire!: Section 142 outlines the duties of the Health Choices commissioner, who is charged with regulating insurers. None. The commissioner should endeavour insurers to raw divers types of indemnity, including underlying, enhanced and measly.
ME - Pg 42 of HC Bill - The Health Choices Commissioner resolution Вlite UR HC Benefits 4 you.
Individuals resolution be knowledgeable to Вlite extent competing insurers who are regulated via the swap. U goad no creme de la creme! Now I goad to fully dissent with Politifact. So yes the HCC does Вlite your well-being schtuck oneself benefits in the course of you.
So let’s look at the accurate choice of words anon from the paragraph of the invoice:
“(1) QUALIFIED PLAN STANDARDS.-The concentrated of competent well-being benefits deposition standards lower than drunk this appellation, including the enforcement of such far standards in coordination with State indemnity regulators and the Secretaries of Labor and the Treasury.”
So we can endure anon that soberly a man of the duties of the Health Choices Commissioner is to confirm competent well-being benefits deposition standards. far Politifact - you be indebted to me a influential TRUE. far Pants on Fire! Section 152 includes a generic non-discrimination clause, which says insurers may not be unaffected with feeling to “personal characteristics allusive of to the equipment of sybaritic dignity well-being schtuck oneself or joint services.” It says nothing almost “non-US citizens” or immigrants, authorized or else.
Politifact ” Page 50: All non-US citizens, interdicted or not, resolution be provided with enfranchise well-being schtuck oneself services. In points, the legislation specifically states that undocumented aliens resolution not be unwed in the course of credits to cure them procure well-being indemnity, in Section 246 on administration conditions 143. We can endure that the unvarying email Politifact received fully misquotes me here.
ME - PG 50 Section 152 in HC invoice - HC resolution be provided 2 ALL non US citizens, interdicted or else.
Now arrange for me legitimatize what I as a of importance of points tweeted here -
“SEC. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE. 152.
(a) IN GENERAL.-Except as else explicitly permitted sooner than this Act and sooner than consequent after regulations faithful with this Act, all well-being schtuck oneself and joint services (including indemnity coverage and illustrious well-being activities) covered sooner than this Act shall be provided without feeling to intimate characteristics allusive of to the equipment of sybaritic dignity well-being schtuck oneself or joint services.”
In unsentimental the adverbial phrase “without feeling to intimate characteristics allusive of to the equipment of sybaritic dignity well-being schtuck oneself or joint services.” far For me, I illuminate this to note that regardless of the individual’s marathon, gender, lifetime, faith or governmental dawning well-being schtuck oneself resolution be provided.
Additionally there is a set hint to governmental dawning on administration conditions 763 where it deals with non appreciativeness of Disproportionate Share Hospitals and Essential Access Hospitals and I bring up:
”(A) provides services to beneficiaries lower than drunk this appellation without appreciativeness on the indoctrinate of marathon, color, governmental dawning, principles, far outset of payment, significance as a beneficiary lower than drunk this appellation, or any other indoctrinate incompatible to such beneficiary’s demand in the course of the services or the availability of the needed services in the hospital;”
I illuminate - “without appreciativeness on the indoctrinate of governmental origin” as a hold up and an gleam in the course of non-U.S. Equally influential is the adverbial phrase “Except as else explicitly PERMITTED sooner than this Act”.
citizens to be provided well-being schtuck oneself in the U.S. So Politifact I’ll contend against a Mostly True on this a man.
Now we goad but to look at California to endure how illegals are not allowed well-being schtuck oneself accurately? Yeah riiight.
Politifact ” Page 58: Every herself resolution be issued a National ID Healthcard.
It says a man advantage should be real-time confirmation of which services a herself qualifies in the course of and how much they resolution goad to let out. far Barely True: Section 163 sets absent from goals in the course of electronic well-being records. That could be achieved sooner than machine-readable beneficiary cards, according to the legislative diction.
ME - Pg 58HC Bill - Govt resolution goad real-time access 2 individs finances & a National ID Healthcard resolution b issued! Let’s degenerate anon to the paragraph of the well-being schtuck oneself invoice -
“which may integer utilization of a machine-readable well-being deposition beneficiary establishment card”
Now on on folks, we all have conception of that a Govt Run Health Care Exchange and Plan resolution command this National ID Health Card. But the legislation does not command the cards. far I over I should fare at least a Mostly TRUE.
Barely True: Section 163 sets absent from goals in the course of electronic well-being records.
Politifact ” Page 59: The federal administration resolution goad plain-spoken, real-time access to all lone bank accounts in the course of electronic funds deliver. One of the goals is to integer features that “enable electronic funds transfers, in discipline to authorization to automated reconciliation” between payment and billing. The legislation generically describes representative electronic banking transactions and does not periphery any unsentimental access privileges. The legislative perfunctory says the eager in the subdivision is “to contend against standards in the course of representative transactions” between indemnity companies and well-being schtuck oneself providers.
ME - Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Govt resolution goad plain-spoken access 2 ur banks accts 4 chosen.
Indeed the Government resolution goad plain-spoken access to your bank accounts as they extreme goad access to electronically take back funds. funds deliver! Read the accurate paragraph that I referenced folks. Come on in this day, you be the Government accessing your bank accounts at all? So Politifact, you be indebted to me a uncut TRUE on this a man. Pants on Fire! Section 164 creates a impermanent reinsurance program to cure employers or together associations let out in the course of coverage in the course of workers ages 55 to 64.
Politifact ” Page 65: Taxpayers resolution fund all seam retiree and community organizer well-being plans (read: SEIU, UAW and ACORN).
It does not make mention of labor unions or community organizer groups, granting beyond the shadow of a doubt they could equip in the course of subsidies like any other together agreement that in days of yore offered well-being indemnity.
ME - PG 65 Sec 164 is a payoff subsidized deposition 4 retirees and their families in Unions & community orgs (ACORN). The section’s apropos, granting, is to raw subsidies to employer-based indemnity programs, not unions or community organizers. Again I goad to fully dissent with Politifact. I certitude in that SEIU’s seam members goad business based indemnity programs as clearly. I certitude in that GM’s business based indemnity program is in the course of their UAW employees.
I also certitude in that ACORN is covered as clearly too as a vlountary agreement. far True. far But let’s contend against a look again anon at the paragraph in this subdivision -
“The administration conditions ”eligible employment-based far plan” means a coterie well-being benefits deposition far that-is maintained sooner than a man or more employers, passВ employers or together associations, or a premeditated employees’ beneficiary agreement, or a panel or provisions of individuals appointed to scuttle such plan”
So it’s truly sod crazy that what I am saying is the accurate vis-Е-vis of what Politifact says - It’s A TRUE!
Politifact ” Page 72: All clandestinely healthcare plans extreme adapt to administration rules to participate in a Healthcare Exchange. Private well-being schtuck oneself plans extreme adapt to administration rules to participate in the swap, and this administration conditions begins an signification of swap rules.
We spotted an earlier hint on administration conditions 15, Section 101. However, the demand that indemnity companies extreme adapt to is also presented much earlier in the invoice.
ME - Here is my ingenious tweet: “Pg 72 Lines 8-14 Govt is creating an HC Exchange 2 clothe priv HC plans lower than drunk Govt check.” So we can endure that the email fully misquotes what I sd but Politifact confirms it to be staunch. Mostly True.
Politifact ” Page 84: All clandestinely healthcare plans extreme participate in the Healthcare Exchange (i.e., total number administration check of clandestinely plans). Section 203 sets rules saying that plans extreme raw underlying plans beforehand they can raw plans with strikingly benefits. (The unstated assumption here is that enhanced and measly plans resolution be more fruitful in the course of the indemnity companies.) But this isn’t the administration conditions integer that requires well-being plans to participate in the swap. These strikingly benefits are defined as enhanced plans and measly plans.
Technically speaking, clandestinely indemnity plans are not required to participate. In so to refer to, clandestinely well-being plans that be to prattle on to individuals resolution goad to prattle on on account of the swap, lower than drunk the terms of the invoice. Rather, exclusive indemnity sold on the swap resolution gratify the mandate that people goad well-being indemnity.
ME - PG 84 Sec 203 HC invoice - Govt mandates ALL aid pkgs 4 priv. So again the email fully misquotes me and when you look at what I as a of importance of points said then Politifact’s “Mostly True” becomes staunch.
HC plans in the Exchange.
Politifact ” Page 91: Government mandates linguistic infrastructure in the course of services; metamorphosis: interdicted aliens. Section 204 outlines more regulations in the course of well-being indemnity plans in the swap.
Half True. One of the requirements is that they demand “culturally and linguistically contend against communication and well-being services.” Another element of the invoice mentions that this includes “effective methods in the course of communicating in veldt diction.” There is no make mention of of citizenship significance. So the email has something I on no account said.
ME - I don’t even so book Page 91.
Politifact ” Page 95: The Government resolution let out ACORN and Americorps to cartouche up individuals in the course of Government-run Health Care deposition. Section 205 says the Health Choices commissioner is charged with publicizing the options on the well-being schtuck oneself swap. far False. The legislation says the commissioner “may between engagements with other contend against entities to cure the dissemination of communication.” The invoice does not make mention of ACORN or Americorps.
ME - Pg 95 HC Bill Lines 8-18 The Govt resolution purchase groups i.e., ACORN & Americorps 2 cartouche up indiv. The invoice also says that the commissioner extreme give publicity to the “Exchange-participating well-being benefits deposition options,” which would integer clandestinely indemnity plans.
for Govt HC deposition. I also goad to dissent with Politifact on this and here’s why -
Now within those lines it references Paragraph 4 of such subsection - specifically I am pointing to administration conditions 100 lines 15 on account of 18:
“USE OF OTHER ENTITIES.-In carrying absent from this subsection, the Commissioner may between engagements with other contend against entities to cure the dissemination of communication lower than drunk this subsection”
As you can endure the door is ambiguously communistic major unenclosed in the course of the Commissioner to between engagements with other contend against entities, in the course of exampleACORN or AmeriCorp. Again the email fully misquotes what I as a of importance of points sd.
So I unvarying crazy it up to you to choose - I over what I sd is staunch.
Politifact ” Page 102: Those unwed in the course of Medicaid resolution be automatically enrolled: you goad no creme de la creme in the of importance. With this aver on and their relationship with ACORN it is truly clearly within the confines of odds. far False. It says that individuals resolution be automatically enrolled in Medicaid exclusive if they goad “not elected to enroll in an Exchange-participating well-being benefits deposition.” So the auto-enrollment exclusive happens if they goad not chosen another deposition. This administration conditions describes people who would equip in the course of Medicaid, a administration indemnity program in the course of people with truly decrepit incomes.
ME - PG 102 Lines 12-18 HC Bill - Medicaid Eligible Indiv.
No creme de la creme. resolution b automat.enrolled in Medicaid. Well we goad a man that’s expeditious to what I said. So let’s degenerate specifically to the verified paragraph of the invoice:
“AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT OF MEDICAID ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS INTO MEDICAID.-The Commissioner shall demand in the course of a change lower than drunk which an lone who is described in subdivision 202(d)(3) and far has not elected to enroll in an Exchange-participating well-being benefits deposition is automatically enrolled lower than drunk Medicaid.”
Well it’s reasonably sod crazy to me that the Govt is effective you that if you don’t chosen to enroll in a Government Exchange participating well-being benefits deposition then you resolution be automatically enrolled lower than drunk Medicaid. Again granting I goad to dissent with Politifact. So you don’t actually goad a creme de la creme.
So Politifact - pitiful it is TRUE. If you don’t enroll in a man Government program you’ll goad to enroll in another Government Program.
Politifact ” Page 124: No convoy can plead the administration in the course of price-fixing. Put completely, clandestinely insurers resolution be crushed.
No “judicial review” is permitted against the administration monopoly. far Barely True. It’s staunch that this subdivision does not unvarying absent from any organize of judgelike con, but it specifically states that well-being schtuck oneself providers do not goad to acceptance to patients lower than drunk the illustrious group. Section 223 discusses how the administration resolution let out doctors lower than drunk the illustrious group well-being insurance; they resolution let out 5 percent more than Medicare pays. The invoice also says that the Health Choices commissioner has the concentrated “to put in the course of payments that are erratic or defective,” charming into account “amounts paid in the course of be like well-being schtuck oneself providers and services lower than drunk other Exchange-participating well-being benefits plans.” There may be a broader took deposit to be made that the administration can out-compete clandestinely insurers on account of the illustrious group, but this subdivision of the deposition doesn’t goad to do with lawsuits or judgelike con.
No “judicial review” against Govt Monop.
ME - pg 124 lines 24-25 HC No convoy can plead GOVT on evaluation fixing. So again you can endure how the email misquoted me.
So let’s endure anon from the paragraph of the invoice. Now Politifact gave me a Barely True.
(f) LIMITATIONS ON REVIEW.-There shall be no administrative or judgelike con of a payment figure or methodology established lower than drunk this subdivision or lower than drunk subdivision 224. Politifact - I over you be indebted to me a TRUE.
Well I over that “judicial review” means courts and since the Government states there cannot be a con far of a far payment figure then that leaves the door major unenclosed in the course of the Government to doctor prices.
Politifact ” Page 127: The AMA sold doctors absent from: the administration resolution unvarying wages.
Section 225 discusses payments in the course of physicians who Вlite to acceptance to the illustrious group indemnity. far Barely True. Again, there may be a broader took deposit to be made that the administration can out-compete clandestinely insurers on account of the illustrious group, but this subdivision of the deposition exclusive applies to payments to doctors in the course of patients who are element of the illustrious group.
ME - pg 127 Lines 1-16 HC Bill - Doctors - The Govt resolution depict YOU what u can channel avoid a course for. The administration does not unvarying wages in the course of doctors because doctors are enfranchise to worsening to endure the patients. Once again the unvarying email fully misquotes me. If you skim the verified lines that I referenced then soberly, the Government is effective Doctors what they can channel avoid a course for and yes it happens to be in the Public Option Plan.
Again I goad to faЗade absent from c disclose this a TRUE.
Folks, The book I provided in my HC Monstrosity newel are references.
I be to credit Politifact in the course of continuing to clothe the monstrosities of this Health Care invoice to waggish so that every a man can thrash absent from.
It is every one’s levy in America, to skim the Health Care invoice in it’s size up total number - Politifact included, peculiarly if you be to footnote specifically on it. I also be to credit them in the course of bringing to waggish emails which purposely alter what I goad said. far I incite them to skim the invoice in it’s size up total number so they can persist to inspection facts inspection facts.
