WGAS…

Again, Amway, WHY do you feel the egotistical need to LIE about everything you post, to attempt to win an argument that isnt even an argument???

This discussion is about cost of health insurance, and ultimately health care costs…

It isnt about deadbeats… whoever deadbeats are… There are plenty of hard working people, Amway, who simply cannot AFFORD the cost of health insurance… There are not all that many employers who provide such a thing as a benefit… perhaps the availability of health insurance… but not the real deal….

Just because somebody cannot AFFORD IT… does not by any stretch of even YOUR defective imagination… make them deadbeats… it just means they need their entire Income just to GET BY… You know, rent/house payment; utilities; gasoline for work; groceries for the household; clothes; clothes for kids in school; etc., etc.

Can you please provide a link??? If not, you are LYING and FLAMING…

Must you LIE about something that wasnt even posted to get your WAY???

“No big deal though as I recall.”

It IS a big deal NN. Someone is paying the price.
Healthcare is not being delivered on the cheap – and it is not free. As for you “not noticing” anyone who doesn’t pay attention to payroll deductions being withheld from their paycheck, really is not qualified to speak on such an important subject.

Chas, if you believe you will get something for nothing, you are going to be very disappointed.
There really is no money tree. And please, refrain from posting about the USDebt ever again.”

You don’t know anything about my private life Mary.
I have enjoyed over half a century on this earth. I have family who practise in medicine. Mom was a LPN, later RN. Two sisters-in-law are nurses. And more, but I won’t get into it.

You are venting about a “crises” that the government will not resolve. We should provide healthcare insurance to the minority who do not have it. The screening should be rigorous. Where help is needed, provide it.

But no candidate is ready to “reform” healthcare to resolve the crises you are viewing from the inside and your own position in medicine.

A great book to read, “The House of God”. Buff and turf patients, and terrible mixups.

But most providers, I believe are like you: honest, hardworking, and professional. But EVERY profession has their 10%. It is not limited to medicine, and unfortunately, without public disclosure of doctors performance and hospitals, it probably never will be.

Deadbeats: Those who would rather not pay what they are capable of paying or those who could work and find it easier not to work. Not everyone meets that criteria. But they are part of it.

The government helps set up the present problems with pushing HMO’s and intervention. They won’t bring us back to Marcus Welby, MD. Ever.

Small minority at best. 251,000,000 Americans have healthcare insurance.

Heck, I even have healthcare on my dog via my employer! My wife could get pet insurance through her work too.

And no, I am not rich, my wife has a job like millions of others – that provides healthcare.
Even people in the telephone answering center next door to her work have pet insurance!

So, we need to work on health insurance for a very small number of Americans who truly NEED it.
Closely screen applicants and force them to use employer provided whenever available.

And Chas does NOT need help. He is like many who whine and cry about the “high cost of healthcare”, but the point is – it is available.
He continues to pay, as do all of us. Some of us realize the government cannot be all things to all people. Others want a freebie.

But look, do you take your car to the cheapest mechanic for repair? Do you hire the cheapest home repairman? How much MORE important is healthcare and life? You should be willing to pay the most for healthcare.

And be thankful it is available!

AW, you think that only the deadbeats don’t have health insurance and that the health care system isn’t broken…you are so out of touch with the real world. I’ve been in the healthcare industry for over 22 yrs and I can tell you the whole system is in crisis. Even if you HAVE private insurance, don’t count on them to pay your claims when you get a major illness, they love to play games in order to deny claims and increase their bottom line.
It’s obvious you haven’t had a serious illness or been involved in the health industry.
My sister just lost her husband…he was in the hospital for a week before he died…the hospital bill ALONE was over $80,000. Now if he didn’t have Medicare (subsidized by the taxpayers), it would have wiped out their life savings.
Just because you have a little money in the bank, AW, don’t think you’re safe from financial disaster should you get sick…unless of course you are covered by government subsidized health care.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that Sursum, it isn’t going to happen. Not only are all the candidates getting campaign funds from a myriad of healthcare providers – but so are most members of Congress.

And why would they change?

Of the 300,000,000 Americans, some are saying 49,000,000 don’t have health insurance. This figure is the highest those suggesting universal (socialized) medicine can try to alarm us with. But reality is something less than that. For instance, that 49 million includes illegal aliens. That’s a big chunk. But it also includes Americans who HAVE access to health insurance – but elect NOT to pay for it. There does remain a few million that are too poor to pay.

However, let’s keep the democrats 49 million just for the sake of argument (even though it is inflated for fear factoring).

That means that of the 300 million Americans, there are 251,000,000 of us who HAVE health insurance. That’s like 83 percent of Americans have coverage.

No one is going to throw out the present healthcare system, to satisfy problems a small minority that is less than 17 percent of the population (including illegals).

The crying and whining are falling on deaf ears.

However, from what I HAVE seen, I believe a few of the candidates will MANDATE, that those on the lower end be FORCED to participate in health insurance plans 1) if available with your employer 2) some national plan. In other words, the government will force you to pay. That’s what’s being proposed. Sorta like the Feds just did with 401K’s. They forced employers to automatically enroll new hires (they must decline in writing to stop it).

Great idea and it will cut the rolls of those who trully need help.

But for me, and MOST Americans, the government will leave what is not broken alone.
