Health Care Bill is Passed

[Bobby Headrick]

WHAT I now know is that if this thing gets all the way through and into law is that my office will be OVERRAN with applications as this bill will expand medi cade an dthat is what I give out, it and KCHIP and food stamps. We will have more work but for the same pay, state employees have not had a raise, better than 1% for over 6 yrs now and now the gov just anounced that we are getting 0 nada nothing fo rthe next 3 yrs or so, no raise but they will be raising my health ins premiums and redoing our ins to a strict 80/20 co pay system. Yes I work for my ins and in order to keep it I have to give up things like a boat a new car etc, and if I get sick then I am out even more as our ins plans are not that good it is HUMANA, and since they rae the only choice KY give us we are stuck with it. This whole health care mess has torn this country apart and all this bickering etc has to stop and real discussions need to take place. I am so glad my elected officals do things without regard to how it affects the citizens.

i agree Bobby, bet you won't ever hear of all these congress people and senators accepting the same health care plan they are trying to get passed though for the rest of the Americans and illegals in this Country !!!!!!!

This was a political move by the Libs in Congress. I don't think it had the majority of the people in mind. We will see come November thats all we can do....vote em out!!!

What is funny is that we already have health ins for most of the people, if you have children and have no income, you can get a med card thru medicad, also if you have children and cannot afford ins or are not offered it the kids are covered with KCHIP, also you can get Ky phys care card for a year and go see a vol Dr for free. We have health care for the poor and children what we lack is afforable health care for the working and middle class who are just over the income limits for KCHIP and medicade. I do not belive that this bill will help US out like they envisioned it years ago. We all aggree to disagree and all of us want the same things in life, but it is getting hard for us middle class to make it . I cannot afford a boat at this time due to breaking up from my fiance of 9 yrs, said I fished too much, still drive a 1994 f150 4x4, cannot afford a new one.But I am blessed to even have a job that offers some security, unless they ship us to Mexico, our call center is in India, go figure, it is ironic that Iwork in a system that is supposed to help people without jobs amd then have them call India to activate their food stamp card. Prowler sorry I see what you are getting at, my mother wanted to die as the treatments seem worse than the diease. Tom sorry for you Bro I feel for you. Peace to all.
