While I am glad the issue is being tackled, I am afraid we are going to get something that is not really going to work and will require costly revisions.Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441815992931379802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-37116552778577725322009-07-22T19:58:22.798-07:002009-07-22T19:58:22.798-07:00More objections...
All discussion of any governmen...More objections...<br />All discussion of any government program existing or potential must be prefaced with the understanding that government cannot give what it does not first take away. Seldom is the value returned equal to that taken because of the attrition of beauracracy. <br />While our current system IS too expensive, Obama-care is simply impossible. And, as the English and Canadians have found... even in a highly punitive tax environment, the tax payer simply cannot care for everyone, so they don't. If you are over 65 & need dialysis or other procedures we consider simple, you are indefinitely wait-listed no matter what your tax contribution has been.<br />Our system is broken, but bigger government is not the answer.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-22634208880127078522009-07-22T16:21:51.850-07:002009-07-22T16:21:51.850-07:00Alissa: I know there are major problems with the ...Alissa: I know there are major problems with the health care situation in America but nothing this important should be forced through. Socialized medicine has NEVER worked and assuming that just because we are America we can make it work is wrong. <br /><br />Thoughtful changes need to be made--not quick politically minded changes.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289465149087442009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-64618297988578613932009-07-22T15:03:26.361-07:002009-07-22T15:03:26.361-07:00I don't think insurance companies are the devi...I don't think insurance companies are the devil, but they certainly aren't easy to work with; and the entire medical system is totally broken. For example, in 2009 I will lose about $10 for each flu shot I give (because insurance companies don't reimburse as much as they vaccines cost). If I were business minded, I would stop offering flu vaccinations, and not lose tens of thousands of dollars and profit by having more patients to see. But of course I'm not going to do that, so we just suck it up.<br /><br />I'm not saying Obama's plan will work (I have some serious questions about it) but the system needs a major overhaul. I just hope that 10 years from now we end up with something different than we currently have (and it is something that works) and the growing pains aren't too costly.Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441815992931379802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-51027439504804066922009-07-21T18:42:57.596-07:002009-07-21T18:42:57.596-07:00The thing is though.. it doesn't matter if we ...The thing is though.. it doesn't matter if we are "allowed" or not allowed to keep private insurance under Obama's plan. If universal health care passes and there is a government (tax payer) subsidized alternative to private insurance.. Private companies will not be able to compete and they will quickly go under. period.<br />When people support government run health care.. they need to realize that it really will shortly be the only option.<br />That, however, is only one of my many objections to this plan.<br />I hope and pray the American public is going to wake up out of it's celebrity goggling haze, realize this guy is just a human being and that his health care plan stinks.. to put it as kindly as I can.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.com
