I want to dispell this rant by people like Cornyn stating the Iranian treaty and the filibuster are to distract from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. That would be true if the treaty and the filibuster were not issues before October 1.
And in addition, Minority Leader Pelosi knows full well the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has a quality control principle built into the law. The law demands panels to continue the fine tuning of the law and to report those findings to the oversight of Congress. The real possibility that application of the law would result in speed bumps to it's progress was well anticipated. Minority Leader Pelosi needs to demand the panels and committees start their work. I hope developing those panels are not neglected by the HHS Secretary. too.
The law was to look at the cost of health care and bring it into a cost effective dynamic. Medicaid to the hospitals was a beginning to pay for what was once free care costing all Americans elevated costs to their health care. The escalating high deductibles are PROOF of the out of control costs of health care in the USA. The law is suppose to examine the costs, streamline the process and pay for care by those that cannot afford it. The purpose of expanding Medicaid is to bring costs down. The sooner the insured no longer have to carry the burden for the uninsured the sooner the costs will begin to scale back. There is an ongoing review process built into the law through panels and committees of professionals and citizens with oversight by Congress. That process should be in place by now unless the law states otherwise.
The uninsured is a cost problem. Not only that, but, the care the uninsured receives at emergency rooms does not resolve to a sustainable longevity. Higher costs to the insured isn't even proving life saving outcomes for the uninsured. It is simply a system gone completely wrong.
