Health Care

In such matters, I find myself torn simultaneously in two very different directions, the ideal and the real I call them... The ideal, in my mind, is such that medicine and education, along with scientific advancement, the advocacy of ethics, applications of positive psychology, etc., etc., become top priorities for humanity, and we give everyONE all the health care they may ever need--no exceptions. However, in our current economic and political situations this is just not feasible. And when one realizes that the world elite who practice such things as Malthusianism, Social Darwinism, with goals outlined such as those on the Georgia Guidestones--to eliminate 90% (or more) of the human population--in a day and age where we do have to recognize that population growth is enormous and SOMETHING must be done about it--one can't help but come to the conclusion that there's something sinister about those very elitists who don't like competition, who like Henry Kissinger, call the masses "feeders", promoting and pushing a socialized health care system... Even using unions to bully people into compliance--there's something rather "Brown shirt" about everything that's happening lately.

THEy need to repair what we have now and leave the Government out of it. DOctors shouldnt Charge some one $200 for first visit if they havent moved thier insurance to the state they are now living in. When really its $75 for an office visit.

Oh boy, my pet peeve. I was contemplating whether or not to comment on this subject or not because I didn't want to start ranting. It seems that we live in the only country in the world that reward those that won't work. I am not speaking of those that "can't" and I mean really "can't" work, let's face it, if you are sitting and typing on a computer all day, you can work. There ARE jobs for those that can type/work a computer. AND answer the phone. I have a WAH job where I do just that and my husband works 40 hrs week. I KNOW of people, even family members that receive "free" health care, prescriptions, etc. Because they have "no" income (haha) that's a funny one. Know anyone working for cash and collecting benefits? Turn them in..nothing happens..lol Anyhow, my husband was ill at one point in time and was in the hospital for 2 weeks, the IC unit and YES, we have health care, he is a state employee. Well, that illness wiped out one of our savings accounts! Because WE had to pay a percentage. WOW! That's fair! Work, pay your dues and still lose. We know a few people that use the free clinic funded by the state in our area. My husband was going to try and retire early and us use the free clinic until we were old enough for medicare/medicaid or whatever it is you use at that age, but noooo...you cannot have money in the bank, nor own property. So we must continue working to pay for our insurance until we die probably, while those that own nothing, have worked for nothing receive free health care! Well, if one of us become seriously ill, we probably won't own anything because we will probably have to sell everything that we own to pay for it! What a racket.

To make it short and sweet, I think the health care system in America really stinks. I think everybody should be able to see a doctor regardless of there wealth, health, race, age and what ever other issues there are.

That Life Insurance question is really a conundrum. If we cut all monies (or even half) given to the UN and then gave as much (as little) as most countries toward the upkeep of the world's citizens... we'd be more able to take care of our own. We provide more to the world than any other country. We get little to no thanks because we are still considered 'stingy' with our care. The world needs to stop being dependent upon the U.S. -

I think that the difference between EU and US health care systems is that in US the health care is BUSINESS and EU it's careing about health. if no one makes a lot of money form health care (that includes state itself), then they put more effort to preventing health problems at first place. but if its a big business then you can only play with the profit and revenue. and bigger the business the better for them - more room to play so to speak.

Are you really saying that everyone who is against government run health care should be treated like criminals? Please tell me I misunderstood here!

Let's start with AMERICA (USA) already has the best health care system in the WORLD.. There are lots of people coming to the US for their health care not leaving the US for health care. Now there are a few select individuals who go out side of the US to get some of the so called unapproved treatments (some that are very good and then some not so good) but once again the US provides the best. Even at my doctors office I have continually met people from Canada who come here to get treated and when you sit there and discuss the situation you begin to see we are fortunate to have a system that offers so much.. Now the bulk of all Americans somewhere in the area of 80% give or take a few say they are very satisfied with their present health care programs. The single biggest complaint.. it is a bit expensive.. and the main reason for that is because of GOVERNMENT intervention.. consider this 90% of all Americans have health care coverage the rest are a mix of those who don't want it or due to certain circumstances have either lost it or never had it etc.. etc.. they still have coverage though as they can walk into any emergency room and cannot be denied coverage. The UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is not supposed to be in the health care business or for that matter they are not supposed to be in any kind of BUSINESS(commerce) I don't know about you but I cannot afford OBAMA CARE, Company Bail Outs, Cash for Klunkers or any other frivolous wasteful spending programs. Our US Government is out of controll and does not care what we want or think as they are on a course to BANKRUPT this country and send it into a country of people who will have to depend on Government hand outs in order to survive.. Any way ENOUGH FOR NOW just check out the link below and watch it through to the end and you may get some of your health care questions answered and see the TRUTH about what they are trying to "RUSH" through before we even get a chance to see what they are trying to do. http://video.newsmax.com/?bcpid=20972460001&bclid=22770166001&bctid=30616902001
