Health care plots began in 1992, with secret meetings. Managed care killed thousands with “Got an ex-ray and pain medications for you…set bones…no way!”
Pay the fine, it’s cheaper. Jolly Rogered into diluted, watered down care with end stage death panels OKed by Bill Gates recently. Why waste money on “gonna dies”? Let’s vote ‘em out twice…then rescend the mess…

@ColonelMarksman I am sorry that you feel that way, but what if YOU could not afford the higher insurance rates for health care or were denied coverage because of a “preexisiting condition”; wouldnt you want coverage? President Obama is trying to help those people that do not have insurance because a) they cannot afford it because of the rates, b) they were denied coverage because of a “preexisiting condition”. I do not mind having taxes increased if it will help my fellow American.

Government takes money away from people = less money for people = poor quality, illegal services to the people (education, healthcare) = harder for business to do better in a competitive environment = fail. The government wants to take our guns away so we can’t defend our rights, and then they will take away our money to freely pay for what we wish, and then they will take away our freedoms and consolidate everything into them. That’s Communism people, are you blind?

@wolvesrule4ever No. Every time the government pokes its head into something, it gets worse. Go move to Cuba and North Korea and tell me what a great job they’re doing. If the government controlled only the military, laws, law enforcement, and absolutely nothing else, everyone would have 300% or more free money on hand because they’re not drowning in taxes. That’s the true free economy system. The CHURCH took care of things back in the day, and did a great job.

@wolvesrule4ever Because it’s illegal for the government to consolidate my tax-paying dollars towards it. And no, it doesn’t make sense. The federal government’s job, as stated in Constitution, is to protect the people with military services and laws (as well as enforcing them). Nothing else. It’s illegal for them to interfere with healthcare or education. Those problems will fix themselves if the government left them alone.

@ColonelMarksman I am sure you would not leave a child that has been hit by a car lying in the street just because they did not have insurance. As a matter of fact, wouldn’t you help pay for their treatment to save their life? Why not help them have insurance?

@ColonelMarksman As it is now insurance rates are through the roof because the hospitals and ambulance companies are treating so many people that can not pay their bills but must be treated anyway. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a socialized option so that everyone had insurance and the medical providers did not have to make up their losses by charging the insured patients more?
ColonelMarksman

@wolvesrule4ever Then you aren’t looking hard enough. What would you rather have? You’re taxes go up 300% so you can pay for other people who do have the money to have just as poor healthcare as you, or would you rather complain that you have money to actually spend somewhere else? You have the money, you’re just not spending it in the right places.

This doesn’t make any sense. Insurance companies compete with each other like businesses to get the best plans, cheapest cost, and competitive service. Not a single country that has healthcare run by the government works well at all, and worse the taxes for it go up. What else do you want? A monopoly? I’ll tell you about a health care crisis: Obama in office.

The sad thing is we pay more in taxes than most socialist countries. They just have one big fat 50% your done. WE have 25-30% fed, 10-15% state 8-10% sales tax, 20% ssi and then a tax on your phone, gas, electric, etc… and what do we get for it? Screwed mostly.

LOL Excellent I am going to send this via email to my health insurance company. They keep sending me bills even though the referels been approved by my Doctor They also claimed that my Physical Therapy was denied for services rendered even though the Physical Therapy Center was listed in their Patients handbook.

The last time I paid for Health insurance was 1984. The last 4 years I’ve gotten it through my wife’s job – Kaiser of all places. Had I paid Health Insurance for those 20+ years I’d have never been able to buy a house with a real down payment.

Our system is rigged… the new bill isn’t any better though.

I really dont see how people dont support the new health bill. I would go into ore details, however my hand was shattered and I have had to wear this ghetto splint fro the ER because I dont have 250 dollars to pay ortho. So typin ist easy.

@Aliothemage
Actually there are many folks who don’t buy ins. b/c they can’t afford it or the ins. companies won’t ins. them. They get denied, no help & die!

As for state lines, you can NOT get car ins. outside of your own city, let alone state, not having it is illegal, yet car ins. premiums DON’T bankrupt families!

Alt. health practicioners don’t use or accept ins. & they are NOT cheap. They REALLY need a sliding scale and l do understand why hospitals charge alot for their services.

@medliberty

They didn’t even make a fuss over the bank bail outs let alone the car bail out with MY tax dollars! Why were there NO PROTESTS & anger over banks when absolutely NOTHING helpful came out of it outside of higher interest rates & harder to get a loan!!

The banks did NOTHING 2 stimulate the economy yet EVERYONE gets sicks & needs a dr. at some point in their life!!

“Govt management has been proven to create shortages and to suppress innovation ” What about NASA? That is totally innovative & fully govt.

@Aliothemage

Innovation, science, & research can ALL occur w/out any health ins. corp. Earlier in the century (as well as in alt. medicine circles where health ins. is not accepted, given, nor used) u pay the doctors out of ur own pocket. I’m sure they had a sliding scale if ur poor (& l wish alt. medicine would do that now) & even did house calls!!

Now it’s at least a 8 hour wait in the ER if u have an emergency & house calls are some ancient artifact.

@Aliothemage

Why do ins. companies exist in the first place?! Your health & life is NOT a car or home. NO ONE asks 2 be born & EVERYONE gets sick!

You chose to buy a house or car. No one chose to get sick! Ins companies exist to make money or let folks die! I went to a Japanese hospital & was SHOCKED there was NO WAIT in the ER. I went right in, saw the Dr. got my medicine, & didn’t pay a thing. Not sure how much health ins. tax was taken out my check, but l had a lot left over!!

@Aliothemage

Not everywhere nor NOT 4 all da poor who need it!! ln MD for example, u must be a legal foreigner, old, pregnant, or a kid 2 get health care. lf u r self employeed (or small biz owner), work pt, r male, or not pregnant, old, or young
YOU GETS NOTHING!! Even if ur a poor, homeless man, if ur not old or a teen, sucks 2 be u. U better not get sick.

@Aliothemage

I agree with u 2 a point! YES u r right on diet & health! & everyone knows eating healthy is TOO EXPENSIVE for avg. to middle class families. Organic food, heirloom seeds, hiring a private chef to cook daily meals is only afforded to the rich!!! But how can u blame tobacco corp.s or food joints b/c folks buy and use their product?

@bigdsears

In DC & NY, homeless go to hospital ER’s 4 rest til dawn. They say they got an emergency at 9pm and get seen around 5am!! Then they get kicked back out on the street. Their options in the winter is Greyhound, shelters (I guess they’re 2 crazy or high 2 try there), park benches, or ER’s !!

l am SHOCKED when my wait to be seen in a hospital (especially one near or in a city) is less than 8 hours!!!
