Doctors and nurses are not going to become gov&#39;t employees.<br /><br />As someone earlier said, it&#39;s much more analagous to medicare. <br /><br />My BIL&#39;s girlfriend was recently struck by a hit-and-run driver while on her bicycle. She works full-time, but her employer offers her no insurance, and she can&#39;t afford to buy it herself on her salary. So she had to be off from work for 2 weeks with no pay, and now she is like $10,000 in debt from hospital bills from something over which she had no control.<br /><br />I have another friend who has such severe epilepsy that she will die or become brain-damaged without her medications. However, she can&#39;t even GET health insurance because she has a pre-existing condition. Her parents are currently helping her pay for her medications (thankfully both are reasonably well-off), but she has no idea what will happen to her when they die.<br /><br />And people really think the current health-care situation is accepatble? Really???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-57970311334762306682009-10-30T15:48:57.812-04:002009-10-30T15:48:57.812-04:00My employer just sent the memo as well.. insurance provider is raising deductibles, co-pays and premiums... also, if my spouse has insurance with her employer, she must use it or I pay a penalty on top of premium...<br /><br />I remember my vacation in the Carribean a few years back ... French territory... Our friend was stung by something in the water.. we went to the local emergency room... went extremely well -- paid $20 US for the visit and $5 for the prescribed anibiotics at local pharmacy...<br /><br /><br /> hmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-52598620765821437592009-10-30T15:43:55.670-04:002009-10-30T15:43:55.670-04:00Actually I use the DMV on-line for almost all of my needs .. works beautifully...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-27748833931181892022009-10-30T12:37:14.873-04:002009-10-30T12:37:14.873-04:00if you the DMV then you will love obamacare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-85559281712629962752009-10-30T09:43:53.962-04:002009-10-30T09:43:53.962-04:00Why would anyone want him to handle healthcare? Well, my mother&#39;s Medicare and Medicaid seem to work pretty well -- and they&#39;re run by the goobs. Plus, I don&#39;t think the goobs can be any worse than the thieves in the insurance industry.<br /><br />What I don&#39;t understand, 12:59 Anon, is why you would want to maintain the status quo. I just got the news from my employer, next year&#39;s deductibles are going up, as are co-pays and premiums. In short, I&#39;m paying more for less. Extrapolating this out, I figure that in 5-10 years, they&#39;ll be taking my entire pay check and I&#39;ll still have to pay full fare for medical care.The Convict in the Gulagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-17160570806916582082009-10-29T16:02:50.412-04:002009-10-29T16:02:50.412-04:00loser,loser,loser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-4268208530739942792009-10-29T14:46:10.888-04:002009-10-29T14:46:10.888-04:00Tweet this: RA Board of Directors Public Meeting on 2010/2011 Budget. 10 a.m. Saturday Oct 31 at RA HQ...SouthLakesMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-79813093265061813182009-10-29T13:10:33.207-04:002009-10-29T13:10:33.207-04:00Yada, yada, yada.Broke in Charter Oak (BiCO)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-23949700863763262622009-10-29T12:59:33.911-04:002009-10-29T12:59:33.911-04:00obama can not even handle getting flu shots to those that need them...why would amnyone want him to handle healthcare?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
