Reality Check: Reform will eliminate insurance discrimination against the disabled
Mike Strautmanis, Chief of Staff for Valerie Jarrett and father of a child with a disability, addresses the myth that health insurance reform will mean children with disabilities will not get the care they need. To, the contrary, reform will make insurance more affordable, provide more options, and eliminate discrimination in purchasing health insurance so families wont be turned down if a parent or child has a pre-existing disability or other health condition.

MIKE, HAVE YOU READ …
MIKE, HAVE YOU READ THE BILL? Tell us anything. Show us in the bill, what is the page #? The fact is too much is left to decide AFTER the bill is passed. Like who is going to be appointed to make the decision on our benefits? Why is that never discussed?
After the stimulus bill, remember no ear marks, no reward for bad players etc. & the President was so choking mad & shocked that it was in the bill HE signed? YOU OWN IT! Along w/ the lack of credibility that you now have.
the system we have …
the system we have with private insurers is truly awful for children with disabilities. a week after my child was diagnosed with autism we got a letter from them stating that they will no longer cover her occupational therapy and psychological services because it’s a “pre-existing condition”.
We need health care reform now to stop this corruption. And to anyone who protests big government, why aren’t you protesting our military action, public schools, police or fire department?
Fuck u and your …
u and your video. Check this out..my kid has cerebral palsey and was denied ssi and medicaid because I work..but we will pay for people to sit on their and smoke weed all day while I pay taxes and my son is denied the help that he deserves. I make 13.15 and hour that is hardly anything especially since uncle sam takes out majority for lazy people. A special needs child is not cheap and I am sick of my taxes paying for ppl who dont do rather than those who just need help!
How about health …
How about health care just for those who need it. I dont need it but ifthe Gov comes up with a plan my company will shove me into it eventually. Open up Private insurance accross State lines and the health care cost will emeidiately drop. Make true tort reform and health care cost will really drop. OBAM knows that yet he refuses to acknowledge it. Why?
How about a health …
How about a health reform that gives all coverage with no discrimination whether it be race creed religion sexual preference handicapped etc etc with no bureaucrat in between WE The People and our doctors, no council on who gets what coverage, no waiting list for surgical procedures whether they are on a small scale or large. And the use of every means available in the medical field to preserve the life of all natural born and legally immigrated immigrants until our time on earth is done.
Oh, you don’t have …
Oh, you don’t have any civil librities? I cry for your misfortune, people will feel bad for you when people don’t have health care and children can’t get surgiries that will save there own life.
With this bill, we …
With this bill, we will not have any rights. The gov’t will encrouch on our civil liberties.
I still think it is a disquise for a tax and about control over its populace. In other word this is inviting the Anti-Christ.
Enough is enough.
You have the right …
You have the right to free speech, NOT the right to scream “FIRE!” in a crowded theatre.
You have the right to a gun, which i believe in, AS LONG as it does not endanger public safety. How hard is that too understand?
I strongly believe in gun rights because i believe in the constitution, however, you oppose the right to privacy (doing drugs) so in other words your a hypocrite…
I love republicans, they serve as entertainment.
I am for states …
I am for states rights and believe that abortion and drugs are a moral issue.
I am talking about is the government taking away my 1st, 2nd and 4th ammendment rights covered under the constitution. Something you do not have in Italy it appears.
oh, then you must …
oh, then you must be against the war on drugs and abortion laws if you don’t like big government.
Your ignorance …
Your ignorance shows.
I do not trust the government with this much control. Think of the technology and how this will bankrupt the US.
Further legislation and fairness doctrines that will be passed later on. They will close the charity hospitals and clinics, The VA, Indian hospitals and anything that does not mirror their model of healthcare.
I refuse to become more subserveant to the gov’t. Just as I dropped out of organized religion…The Roman Catholic Church.
america is almost …
america is almost the only wealthy nation without government health care this is not a revolution, government health care in europe is nothing new.
England has government health care which works well,
there is no new world order, nothing has changed much, Obama’s in the pockets of the corporations.
you have no sense of politics and how its run and use fear to prove your point, so it’s impossible to have a good discussion.
did republicans …
did republicans complain when the bush administration ignored the constitution, (warantless wiretapping, torture (cruel and unusual punishment)
the people are …
the people are tired of your branned of so called change obama. this is what we want watch?v=TG6ivNLJeVI
Silly boy, this gov …
Silly boy, this gov health care bad ideal. This is Illegal and UN-Constitional, the 10th
doesn’t it appear …
doesn’t it appear that this healthcare will mirror, the income tax, the creation of the IRS and privatization on the Federal Reserve?
Dear Obamatrons and …
Dear Obamatrons and the evil that sits in the white house.
I have placed a curse on you, this curse will be worse then the curse that plagued kennedy. You will not be able to go anywhere without seeing or feeling this curse. As long as you support evil and the looting of our country or stand against our constitution this curse will grow deeper into your lost soul. The more you try to fight or forget about this curse the more it will take over your life. You have been cursed for eternity.
USAPatriot1966: …
USAPatriot1966: please provide verifiable facts to back the fear you are spreading. Let’s have a meaningful debate That is what democracy is about. Not fear fear mongering.
And how does something get put into a Bill *after* it passes? If you are not familiar with the legislative process, “Bill” explains it in a classic video: /watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ
Valerie Jarret, Who …
Valerie Jarret, Who was her daddy?
This healthcare reform is a disguise for another tax and for government control over it populace.
There will be NO Indian health service or VA or any private service, ONCE a fairness doctrine is put into the bill after passage.
DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR LIES. THE GOV’T DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
NO to the NWO!
CHANGE IS GOOD! …
CHANGE IS GOOD! OBAMA !
And you would be …
And you would be mistaken. In 1920 there was a worse crash than in 1929 only no one remembers it because it was one of the only times in history when govt actually did the right thing. 18 months after that crash America came out it and went on to enjoy the roaring 20′s.
Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.

FDR’s plans in the …
FDR’s plans in the beginning might have not worked, but he wasn’t the one who prolonged the depression. It was Hoover, who said that “things will fix itself.” Obviously it didn’t.
If we don’t take actions to heal our nations problems, then “Hoovervilles” we be a returning trend.
Good Job! Thanx …
Good Job! Thanx Love & World Peace xoxox
