So, there are those in politics that want people to believe that a "Public Option" is bad. They keep portraying it as substandard care, then they try to say it will be bad for all of healthcare. Finally you find out, because one of the Congresswomen let it slip, that in reality, it will cause a drop in the COST of HEALTH INSURANCE and HEALTH CARE by about 30 to 40% !!!!! OMG! what a travesty! For the Health Insurance companies maybe, but not for the citizens! I don't know about you, but I am all for a decrease in premiums, copays and health care costs in general! I think the costs have become outrageous!
Now if you really think about it, why would a congress member NOT want the cost of health Insurance to drop? maybe because they are receiving campaign money from those companies! Lobbyists and Big Insurance are lining the pockets of those nay-sayers!
I warn all of the people - those that protest a reduction in cost to you - are benefiting in some way by the higher prices we pay!
I say bring on the public option. We already have "rationed" health care, just try to get labs or tests done and see if they try to give you a hard time! What about when you want or need the brand name because the generic does not work for you? And do not forget those that get dropped from insurance because they had to audacity to get sick! Access to health care, that is affordable, is a fundamental right! It says the "right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Preventive care and medicine to get well is the path to Life . . . what do you think?

I agree, heathcare costs are completely out of control. Of the three plans offered by congress only one omits coverage for illegal aliens. If my taxes are going up it damned well better not be paying for them. In my honest opinion illegal alien status must be handled first. 1907, Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on immigrants and being an American "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or orgin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also isn't an American at all. We have room but for one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is to the American people".
ReplyDeleteIf ever there was a time to get on the patriotic stump...it is now. Socialism in its masked face, Liberalism, is but one step away from communism. Quote: "The democracy will cease to exist when you take of away from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not". This pres and his policies need to go.
