It's like a mom I knew would sometimes say about supper, when one or two were tired of leftovers and another had his/her heart set on something not on the menu: "This is a home-cooked family meal, not family night at a buffet place. Now, the hungry can dig in and the fussy can get out of the way."S.W. andersonhttp://wpblog.ohpinion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-92226464059553138242009-05-19T09:42:00.000-07:002009-05-19T09:42:00.000-07:00Utah - You are very lucky.

To make just one dollar over a certain amount and you don't get any help and you can't afford to buy you're own insurance or pay for it out of pocket.<br /><br />Billy it wasn't so much the doctors or the drug companies as much as the bean counters and the lawyers that screwed things up. Strange how doctors used to make a lot of money when most of the system was non profit. Then the lawyers the insurance companies and the administrators got into the act and everything went down hill from there. The system is doomed to fail because it's so top heavy right now.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-59615591511313686242009-05-18T15:20:00.000-07:002009-05-18T15:20:00.000-07:00I'm not convinced that we can ever come up with a ...I'm not convinced that we can ever come up with a health care plan that everyone will be happy with. <br /><br />Doctors and drug companies are greedy and people just don't want to die anymore. <br /><br />These monkeys used to take dieing better but since so many doctors and hospitals showed up everyone wants to be saved, and supported by the taxpayers for like forever. <br /><br />Even worthless people that haven't worked for years and maybe only did work for ten, twenty years when they did. <br /><br />I have a problem with us supporting them. I worked right up until retirement so I feel that I should have a little bit coming to me, like a fucking hernia operation. <br /><br />Past that, I don't want to get too old, if I get cancer or something like that, fuck it, I'm not taking treatment, I'm just going to get dead.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-26051623671601015972009-05-18T12:03:00.000-07:002009-05-18T12:03:00.000-07:00I'm disabled and have been on Social Security for ...I'm disabled and have been on Social Security for years. If you are poor enough the Medicare part D, which covers RX costs is supplemented by mysterious "others." It is the only time poverty has worked to my advantage. I love this safety net. I pay less for my bazillion drugs than for the two RX's my dog needs for his arthritis and thyroid problems. My only problem re Medicare is keeping the private insurance companies from inserting their grubby mitts between me and my Medicare. I have had screaming debates with the idiots who represent these big insurance companies. They are gobstopped that I can't see the benefits of their getting a piece of the pie. Fuck them I say. Yes, out loud and on the phone. Over and over.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.com
