Losers and Winners

On abc.go.com Ron Scherer tells, us that there are some states that are states who are winners in the Health Care Reform and there are looser states now that the Health care Reform has passed. And what did he base his speculations on? Could it be that he is hoping that unemployment rises for his speculations to come true? His full of Speculations article - Health Care Reform Fallout: Which States Are the Winners? should be read with an open mind as to the direction unemployment goes, either up or down. Not just if it continues to stay the same or goes up.

OK, so it does benefit the states which already provide it to childless adults? The Federal government will pick up the financial burden which those states already have in the way of providing 50 percent reimbursement, saving the costs to those states half of what they are now paying. But as many of the people in those cases get jobs so does the costs. We all know that those states regard it as a temporary help for those on the programs. Not only is it hard to get on with strict guidelines but it is hard to stay on since most cases are considered are considered the key word "temporary".

And why does he consider the other states losers? Those that do not already have the program in place will receive the 100 percent start up costs, but over time those states will have to pay more of their own costs. Now try to remember that Republican and Tea Party are against any help for the unemployed uninsured down trodden American Citizens.

I'm sorry Mr. Scherer, since when is having to pay back a 'Portion' of the 100 percent of taxpayers money back to the Federal government which provided it a bad thing? Isn't that what taxpayers want? And don't you consider the Unemployed of the middle class situation in this country a temporary thing?

The truth is that many of those who are unemployed will no longer be unemployed in 3months, in 6 months, in 12 months.
The truth is that by 2014 many unemployed and uninsured will no longer be unemployed or even uninsured.
The truth is the uninsured who do work, make an income that does not qualify them for the state's program.
The truth is the uninsured working for companies which lowered the hours of employees so they do not qualify for medical insurance coverage from their employers also do not qualify for the state's program because they're working and have income.
The truth is the States will be spending less than estimated by all the Republican and Tea Party Talking Heads like you.

The Public Option is not in the Health Care Reform Law, But if it was than the situation for those states would have been a lot better because the Public Option was private insurance subsidized by the government like the way an employer subsidizes for their employees. It would be as if it were a more affordable HMO. But as it stands, the Public Option is out. So by fighting the private insurance affordable Public Option you Republican talking heads helped burden the medicaid. I and all states would like to Thank You for doing just that.

The Reporter Mr. Scherer on abcnews.go.com seems to base his theory on his speculating that the unemployment numbers would go up instead of down. And ABC, CNN, Fox news, with other news outlets also seem to be giving a lot of credibility to those types of speculations.
