My Health Care
Last Read: |
My health care is very important to me even though I have few serious health problems. I do a lot of preventative activity on my own. This is an enormously impacting subject to so many people and it is indeed a very hot button issue at the moment. Health care refers to just about everything and anything referring our overall health. It includes medical, dental, hospitals, nursing, surgery, psychologist, optometrist, pharmaceuticals, and laboratories.  The cost of health care is beyond many people. Yet, the cost of the absence of health care is just as expensive to our society. The loss of productivity from unhealthy individuals is too much for us to bear, as well as the financial strain on the Federal Government. Health is one of our most personal and valuable resources. We work most all our lives and when we retire with no substantial health, its not retirement. It is survival. This week may be the make or break week that will affect our nation for years to come. I am finally into the health care debate. I want health care. I will need health care. I believe in health care. Short of war, this issue may be one of the most important ever. I will listen very carefully this week to the discussion. |

one way or another people get medical care. the thing is that if one has no insurance, he has to go to the emergency ward when he needs help and this kind of care is much more expensive, because by this time the condition is out of control. when one has no regular care due to lack of insurance, one has expensive care. the ER statistics are out of control due to the medical inequities of not getting regular care, including prescriptions. i know people who have endangered their lives and ended up hospitalized for extended periods of time due to not having their medications. i know people who go off their prescriptions even now with medicare part D, because of the donut hole, which forces people to pay over $4300 out of their own funds for their prescriptions this year, before catastrophic coverage kicks in. that's an awful lot of money to come up with, let me tell you. the idea that people are individually going to choose and pay for their insurance, when they don't have the money for their basic needs of food, shelter, transportation, utilities seems a bit unrealistic, don't you think? they don't have financial advisors to help them choose the best medical plan like the people who think that is such a great idea. of course, the entitled don't recognize this, do they? to sum this up, i agree with you. what we have hasn't been working. what is being worked toward is a solution, maybe not the best solution, but better than continuing doing what we're doing and expecting a different outcome. we can't expect perfection, we can accept our nation's best. God bless you. your sister in His love, shar  sharFather Son HolySpirit
