Health Care Bill is Passed

[psprowler]

It wolud have been nice to have a thing as universial healrth care like Canada and Eurpre have, this bill is not like that but is a start. I would rather pay a little higher taxes and have healt care than to pay OUTRAGIOUS INS PREMIUMS AND CO PAYS AND DED. My mother died of cancer, leukimiea, my dad had a great UNION job and had good health ins, so he thought, the co pays and ded BANKRUPT him, he lost it all due to my mom getiing a diease that she did not ask for. TO hear some of you grumble over a few extra tax dollars, we spend billions on illegals for health ins why not the citizens,I wanted universial coverage like Europe and Canada, cause noone there LOSSES EVERYTHING WHEN THEY GET SICK, Why cause they do not have privite health ins cos that run their medical and health systems. BTW my moms bills after the ins co's pd and also some things they DENIED, why cause they could cause it cut into their PROFIT, those bills totaled over 1 MILLION, so you say well we should save for these things, who on here has 1 MILLION saved. Cancer killed my mother but greed ruined my dad. Was not enough to lose his wife of 35 yrs but also their home and everything else. And the sad thing is is that he is not the only one to lose everything due to illness.

Out of the million$ in bills, how much was actually paid out of pocket? What's a reasonable amount? 10% which in this case would be 100,000. 5% which is 50,000. Somebody or some group has to pick up the slack for the rest of the tab. There are literally millions of examples like this one nationwide. With the life expectancy expanding and people multiplying by the bazillions combined with all the latest and greatest technological advances it just won't work. The amount of healthy people that don't have any claims just can't shoulder the burden any more.

Bingo, prowler nailed it, someone has to pay the bill guys. I hate it for Bobby's father I really do, I dang sure hate it for Billy and his family, it stinks. My mother has been in the hospital in Acute care since December the 14th till right now, what do you guys think that is gonna cost...... So my big and bad attitude on this preacher man does have a dog in this fight. But I also know somebody has to feed the bulldog and I don't expect somebody else to pay my or mines way, that's all I'm saying. Does it stink sure it does but that's just the way things are, somebody has to pay the piper. My Mother is getting better and there is a real possibilty that she is gonna make it out of that place and live a decent life for what she may have left. She we probably be flat broke when it's over despite having a Kentucky state retirement insurance and Medicare and Medicaide.
