To have to bring back a 77 yr old grandpa to jumpstart?? How sad a commentary is that, about our 'new, metric driven managers of today'???]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:17:35 -0400

Imagine being 68, with no medicare program. What would our wonderful private for profit insurers, who are just trying to help us meet the challenges...do then?

Someone in power has to rise above it all and force change. There is a ton of money against it, but we need it for all citizens, and now.]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 09:07:53 -0400

I saw this coming 20 years ago when I worked selling group health coverage for the Big Insurers...and the squeeze that I knew was coming down the road.

And our gov't 'leaders' (sic) have done nothing but give it lip service because they are sold out to lobbyists.....and, others with the attitude that, as is so sad in the USA, 'as long as I've got mine, I'm ok'. Sad, indeed.]]> Tue, 19 May 2009 09:43:10 -0400

But crappy healthcare will not be a result of govt takeover. The same good medical personnel will still be delivering the treatment, and for once, everyone will have access. This is what we direly need - like every other civilized nation in the world.

There may be less 'keep me alive' high-techie gizmo whizbang gadgets and drugs....buts thats not so bad, if only the rich (or you with your current high coverage health plan) can afford it.]]> Tue, 19 May 2009 08:37:37 -0400

The system is severly broken, great amounts of money are changing hands, enriching many......and the little guy faces bankruptcy for costs that he can't afford to buy coverage to fend off.

Our politicians meanwhile, are fully covered in the Fed Employee Plan..........that you and I fund for them..........that we cannot participate in.

I want to be a politician now.]]> Fri, 15 May 2009 09:46:51 -0400

Medicare (whatever you want to call it) needs to be extended to ALL citizens, and profit making insurers done away with (Let them sell luxury products) and financed through equitable taxes across the board.

Its time to end the fortunate and well-connected getting great coverage, while the little guy, the individual, and the sick get the chance to go bankrupt. ]]> Fri, 15 May 2009 08:05:46 -0400

Worse, the individual frets over starting his own business because he must come up with $$$ just for 'insurance' against potential illness that could bankrupt him.........and so goes to work for the 'corporation'. And we all know how inefficient the corporation is, especially the large ones.
The outlandish, uncontrolled cost of medical care is the behind-the-scenes drag on our economy. But our wonderful legislators ALL have themselves taken care of. And in health plans that we pay for for them, that we cannot access ourselves. This must be changed. ]]> Thu, 07 May 2009 10:02:34 -0400 The insurer did not care, the medical community wanted more and more, and the capitalistic system, although funding all the new tech gadgets to keep us alive, is now unaffordable....hence 50M uninsured.
