A partial list.

Austin Considine continues his excellent video series on the true importance of health care reform. These are the voices we’re not hearing enough from. .
While the video suggests that there are no “bad” guys to name, I would tend to differ just a bit. This guy is sustaining insurance premiums and drug costs that will break his budget in the end. Where does he go from there? Like Cantor suggests, he can go on disability and get Medicare, or hope for charity.
I am not sure about this person, but I know myself. Given the choice of disability or work, I tried working. I was a nurse with Lupus, doing a job with germs all around and no immune system to speak of. But I didn’t want to quit. I loved what I did and I hated sitting at the wayside. Only after bankruptcy from medical bills, where the house and the car was the only thing we had left, (oh yeah, this computer too)did I finally bow out and give up. Who needed that on their conscience with children at home? I single-handedly broke the house budget with my stubborn refusal to give up? I live with that daily.
Now I get great care with Medicare, and what I can’t pay mostly gets covered eventually. I take some meds, but not real expensive ones, so I’m good there. But my past experience is enough that I know the end of too many good people’s story. If I can do one thing, it is going to be to make the insurers and drug companies and doctors take notice. There are PEOPLE out there that are paying their wages. Not just diagnoses and investments, PEOPLE
Well, the GOP has a solution: beg for money from friends and family, or use one of the government programs that the GOP is fighting so hard to prevent. Ain’t our system great – the only country in the civilized world that does not cover everyone, because God also believes that if people cannot afford insurance, they should not have the luxury of health care.
@Fran,Yes medicare is great until you hit the doughnut hole.Then you can’t get any medicines unless you pay full price and then I think they double the price on it.There are some places you can go that will help some like (P.A.P)and some of the pharm.companies the catch is you can’t have but so much resources,if you are $1 over there limit you are out of luck.There is two things about Obama plan I like,closing the hole & having a system were Doctors can go an see your records.If you have noticed if a DR.send you to another then he has to run his on test which in my opinion is a waste of money,and a lot of the test are very expensive and it hadn’t been long since you had the same test so I like that part,if he can get the DR. to go along.
