These are government healthcare programs. Without the government, these programs wouldn't exist.<br /><br />I have pretty good health care options through my employer with which I am for the most part pleased. However, I still want a government option for all of those CITIZENS who can't otherwise afford health care. I firmly believe in the government provider option even if it means just adding them to the Midicare/Medicaid rolls. Just like Medicaid, these folks inclusion should be means tested.The Convict in the South Reston Gulagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-10970624022804081362009-08-20T23:13:49.233-04:002009-08-20T23:13:49.233-04:00hey Restonian ... hope you anticipated this topic ...hey Restonian ... hope you anticipated this topic might get a tad contentious...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-15800045504190377362009-08-20T23:11:20.347-04:002009-08-20T23:11:20.347-04:00I meant to say (above) -- 45% of people in a poll ...I meant to say (above) -- 45% of people in a poll yesterday want the government to stay out of Midicare/Medicaid...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-39206119525540765562009-08-20T23:09:26.759-04:002009-08-20T23:09:26.759-04:00yea -- and latest poll says 45% of people want the...yea -- and latest poll says 45% of people want the government to saty out of healthcare... there's a conundrum -- wonder if we should be focusing on educating our population...<br /><br />And I believe when you review the data --- the "80%" are satisfied with their doctors -- not their health insurance company...the same CNN poll also points out "...But satisfaction drops to 52 percent when it comes to the amount people pay for their health care, and more than three out of four are dissatisfied with the total cost of health care in the United States...."<br /><br />And finally beware of anything coming out from the Lewin Group as it was purchased in 2007 by Ingenix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-55732988608355767242009-08-20T22:34:40.731-04:002009-08-20T22:34:40.731-04:00Let's just make sure it is a Town Hall Meeting...Let's just make sure it is a Town Hall Meeting -- and let's show a little decorum...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-48085545499580907122009-08-20T21:56:46.381-04:002009-08-20T21:56:46.381-04:00To any elected politician who will be speaking.
