Im kind of late getting here. For those who say that we need govment health “care”, I say move to Canada. You realize that in some places, there is a weekly lottery to see who can go to the doctor that week? You do realize that people with such illnesses as cancer have to wait so long to see an oncologist that by the time they can, their cancer which was stage 1 is now terminal? You do realize that doctors are quitting their practices there and moving to the States? I could go on and on. I was born and raised there so I know some of what I speak.
Now, yes, it’s hard when someone doesn’t have health coverage- (My family doesn’t as my husband lost his job in January. Since he is in the construction work, it’s not looking too promising. HOWEVER please note: WE DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO HAVE TO PAY FOR US!!!)
When someone doesn’t have health insurance, doesn’t mean they can not get care. If that were true- how about all the illegals coming in to have their “anchor babies”?! You can bet they aren’t covered by insurance, yet they can still get into a hospital to have those babies.
Hopefully my family and others like us will get back on their feet (no help from obami!) and until then, we will have to pay as we can. Hospitals do allow payment plans. I had my son and paid in installments until we were paid off.
One last thought. Government has NO business mandating health care. It is uncostitutional for one thing. Yes, I do read America’s founding documents and agree with and will defend them 100 percent!
What would really drive health cost down, which I don’t hear many talking about is tort reform. get the lawyers out of the slip and fall business and we’re almost there to affordability. TOo bad most libs are lawyers though. We’ll never see that happen.
