ACA is a job creator

The Affordable HealthCare Law resolves health care and jobs issues.

 

If you believe in moving into the 21st Century, believe in health care being accessible to all , if you believe it is a right not a privilege or that the overhaul is long overdue; then you are on the right side of history. Please do not believe how some are portraying ACA, as a law for the poor.  I do not believe that parents with kids in college would say they are poor nor rich and these days most families have two or more in college at the same time. Therefore, having children covered until 26 is considered a relief to some families

The fact is over 32mil people will now have access to an improved health care system that will need more doctors, PA, and those great nurses who we usually see when we feel bad. Think about it, what does it take to run a Hospital? Our current workforce cannot possibly handle that many new customers and will need to hire more folks from the so-called bottom up such as grounds, parking lots, security, maintenance, janitors to gardeners to receptionists, and more.  I have no idea how many people go to the doctor each day, but if you have an appointment during the workday, your child is in school, goes to daycare or you take them with you … most people do not; bam more jobs needed.

I cannot begin to list the impact of 32million more people added to the health care system, but the proof of it being a jobs bill is obvious.

Let’s take a look at what today’s ruling means for the middle class:

• Insurance companies no longer have unchecked power to cancel your policy, deny you coverage, or charge women more than men.
• Soon, no American will ever again be denied care or charged more due to a pre-existing condition, like cancer or even asthma.
• Preventive care will still be covered free of charge by insurance companies–including mammograms for women and wellness visits for seniors.
• By August, millions of Americans will receive a rebate because their insurance company spent too much of their premium on administrative costs or CEO bonuses.
• 5.3 million seniors will continue to save $600 a year on their prescription drugs.
• Efforts to strengthen and protect Medicare by cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse will remain in place.
• 6.6 million young adults will still be able to stay on their family’s plan until they’re 26.

A major impact of the Court’s decision is the 129 million people with pre-existing conditions and millions of middle class families who will have the security of affordable health coverage.

Sanford’s whining about us ~~~ dccc.org

Your grassroots power sent a panicking Mark Sanford running to the papers. He literally took out a full-page, 1,200 word ad whining about our TV ad calling him out on his record.

Elizabeth Colbert Busch could pull off a huge victory here in one of the reddest districts in the country – and you’re helping to make it happen! With your help, we crushed our goal and are fighting Sanford’s deceptive ads with the facts.

There are just 12 days until the special election. In a district as red as this one – Mitt Romney won it by 18 points! – we can’t let one day go by without calling out the Republicans’ smears and fighting back with the facts. That is exactly what you have helped us do, so thank you!

A Changing Landscape

Key States Set for Dramatic Increases in Size of Latino Electorate

Spurred on by their historically poor performance with Latino voters in last year’s elections, some Republicans are getting on board with immigration reform that includes a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in a bid to avoid permanently alienating this key voting bloc. The so-called Gang of 8 in the Senate (four Democrats and four Republicans) could introduce an immigration reform bill as early this week. And supporters of reform including a path to earned citizenship are holding a major rally here in Washington D.C. on Wednesday afternoon.

New research out today from our Center for American Progress colleagues underscores one reason why Republicans may finally be eager to deal with the issue: the challenges associated with the GOP’s reliance on a base of older, whiter voters. The size of the Latino electorate in key states is set to increase dramatically over the next two election cycles, further complicating the GOP’s efforts to successfully contest national elections if they continue to rely almost exclusively on white voters.

The report groups the politics of immigration into four categories: the past (California), the present (Virginia, Florida, Colorado, and Nevada), the near-term future (Arizona, North Carolina) and the long-term future (Georgia, Texas). The report’s conclusion of how these politics will continue to play out is very clear:

Even leaving California out of the picture, the states analyzed in this issue brief comprise 137 electoral votes. In 2012 Democrats won 332 electoral votes to the Republicans’ 206, but if Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia were to shift Democratic, that would bring the grand total of electoral votes to 412—an insurmountable margin.

Whether these states flip from red to blue is an open question. But two things are abundantly clear: In each of these states, voters of color, particularly Latino voters, are becoming an ever-larger share of the total voting population. These voters care deeply about how both parties talk about immigration, and use it as a litmus test for how candidates from either party feel about their communities as a whole. In fact, immigration reform has become the number one political issue for Latino voters. The voters have spoken, and the message is clear: Getting right on immigration and getting behind real and enduring immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in our country is the only way to maintain electoral strength in the future.

The Latest on Medicare

GOP Plan to End Medicare Means Higher Costs for Seniors

Medicare is in the news today, for reasons both good and bad.

The good reason: today is the beginning of open enrollment for Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans. Thanks to Obamacare, enrollment in Medicare Advantage is up and premiums are down.

The bad reason: yet another study confirms that a plan very similar to the Republican plan to end Medicare and turn it into a voucher program will indeed raise costs for seniors — forcing them to pay significantly more each year for the same benefits they have today.

This echoes the results of several other studies, including a Center for American Progress Action Fund analysis showing that the Republican plan will raise costs for current seniors by $11,100 and by as much as several hundred thousand dollars for future seniors.

This infographic breaks down how much the Romney-Ryan plan to end Medicare will impact you, your parents, grandparents, and children:

And it’s not only seniors’ health care costs that will go up under the Romney-Ryan plan. The GOP plan will dramatically increase insurance company profits as well. Here’s President Obama describing the findings of a the study at a September campaign event in Florida:

In fact, one report just said that by the end of the next decade, our opponent’s plan would mean as much as $16 billion to $26 billion in new profits for insurance companies. So basically, your costs would rise by the thousands so that their profits could rise by the billions.

BOTTOM LINE: The Republican plan to end Medicare will raise health care costs for seniors by thousands of dollars in order to pay for more new tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. The middle class simply cannot afford the Romney-Ryan plan for Medicare — or anything else.
