Health Care Continues

ObamaCare: Who Gets Hit And How Hard - Forbes.com

It is interesting to hear the stories on this.  I do not think the proposed bill will fix much for anyone.  It also punishes those that produce and drive our nation. 

I agree we need a reform, but I do not believe in a national health care system.  England is a mess and we have had personal experience with Canada's mess.  Someone we knew was stuck in the HALLWAY and needing oxygen was ignored for almost 2 days! 

I say we fix our current problem by:

>>Not allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to the public.  People are stupid by nature and will believe anything they see on the "boob tube". 
>>Insurance companies should not be allowed to dictate what treatment is prescribed for a patients.  Everyone is different and must be treated accordingly.  Only, we suppose, doctors know what is best.  You know the professionals.
>>There must be a way to get insurance for those with existing medical conditions, especially those who did not ask for such conditions.

Things I will not pay for:
Smokers killing themselves.
Drug addicts.
Other poeple's birth control. 

I think you get the picture.

Well in my country we have a national health care system that takes money from taxes and mandatory insurance. We unfortunately pay for treatment of addicts with notion that its far more safer to pay to cure those people than to have them roam the streets on drugs and causing trouble and insecurity. My personal opinion is that health isn't something that someone can hope to make a profit.

Interesting point of view. I think this is great to have someone mention what they experience and feel.
As for the US, the politicians have it all wrong in their minds to begin with. The new bill also has this health points program which means if you used up all or most of your health points you will not get the treatment you want, deserve, or need. Government would have the right to refuse you if you are not use to society. Oh, those elderly are in big trouble!

well old people go to hospitals for just about everything and then you have full waiting rooms, cranky doctors, no beds and so on. I saw recently a show about Cuban health care. I was really suprised. They aren't the most advanced nation but they do care about their people and medical science and proffesion is on a very very high level.
