Affordable Health Care

if you are paying for an health insurance plan now. and your wife or daughter are on your plan and need the preventive test, now your insurance has to cover the test needed at no out of pocket charge to you. I think it's a very good thing for women.

DUDE.....you really don't get it.

Do you think that freakin test is FREE....hell no.

All this mandate did is drive up premiums for everyone.......THANKS OBAMA.

GAWD.

Took my live in to see a cardio doc wednesday, took her the GP yesterday, hospitalized her yesterdayWhy??? The cardi guy said anemia, wrote a prescription. Feeling even worse. she got in to see her reg doctor, the next day[SURPRISE]. Did a blood test. no anemia??? HUH. Her reg doc called and said to drop in, ran an ekg[why didn't the cardio guy do that]? So now she's in the cardio section of the hospital. whats sad is she was a nurse, but didn't know anything. If we were that dumb, why did we see a heart specialist? I waited almost 3 months to see a dermatoligist, because of unusal spots on my breast,took 3 biopsys to find out "nothing to worry about", why couldn't my regular doc, who sent me to the specialist do that? Its called cover yer ass medicine.And dont give me that frivilous law suit crap, I had two turp procedures in three months because of a hospital screw up. And paid for BOTH of them.
















whats sad

There is no denying that the US has the best doctors/surgeons on the planet. But like previously stated a doctor would rather cover is own a** and send the patient away than to take the chance of being wrong. They are terrified of it and I can't blame them... I was a life guard at UK's pool for a year while i was down there for school. We are taught in CPR to never stop unless 1 of 5 things happened. One of them being if a more qualified person shows up to continue CPR. At any given time in that pool there was atleast one medical doctor... more qualified than I to perform CPR, but we were told they WILL NOT TOUCH someone that is unconcous/nonresponsive on the pool deck for any reason... Thier malpractice insurance won't cover them... now there are good samaritan laws to protect people in some instances like this but those only go so far... It's sad that there are so many people that make a living off taking from people who earned thier money.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that most people who are on goverment aid but are required to pay a certain percentage of the total cost never pay anyway. The doctors have to make their money back somehow if they know they are only going to get paid the percentage from the goverment. Again it's all just sad. But these are the things that need to discussed in the election! Not gay marriage, not Romneys religion, and not Queen Obama's wardrobe.

it's not free Geo, I get that. the Doc gets his or her money, but your health insurance plan that you pay for, pays the doc. for the test, not you. and look at this, 35 Million more people with health insurance = Millions more nursing jobs. but you may not get it,
