My family has health insurance and we still owe our physcian $1000 this year. I wonder how much more broke we would be if we were non insured. Every American should have health coverage, if we can pay billions for a war we sure can give our brothers and sisters health coverage. I don't care what political party you stand for how do you stand against coverage for everyone and sleep at night. Jessie,

I don't anymore and never will again. The system is set up to exacerbate every minor glitch into a migraine-strength headache, until the process of *doing* anything, is more of a hassle than suffering. Because everything they pay for detracts from their main objective: Making money. Healthcare should not be for-profit. Period. I used to work for the health insurance industry.

Here is my plan for change - get rid of concept of prescriptions. The doctor tells you what to get. You go to the store. You get it. No paperwork. No telling the government. We treat adults like adults and not like little children. That's the short answer. The longer answer is complex and philosophically entangled. Over my many years of political analysis I have discovered that most of the problems that politicians are itching to fix (by increasing their power) are problems that they have created (or at least exacerbated). 150 years ago politicians sought to fix minor poltico-medical problems (e.g. ignorant people buying snake oil) with regulation. Now we have so much regulation no one can afford real medicine - or even the active ingredient in snake-oil (ethanol)! Politicians rarely make things much better and often make things much worse. Let's stop buying their form of snake-oil. Bill Rantings from Bill Ritch.

My solution is to throw fatigues on these fucks and drop their asses in fuckin SOMALIA! with styrofoam "Body Armor" and an airsoft gun with no pellets. They felt that kind of treatment was OK for us. On a serious note, let's bug the holy hell out of our representatives eh? probably won't do much good but we should TRY. Then we can revolt with a clear conscience :) jon Joe: Remember that they have their own army of “security” types.

I honestly feel these people will only understand violence at this point. I know that sounds horrible but what the hell is left. "Oh you want to talk, oh no problem, let me just finish with burying my husband/child etc this afternoon because you fuckers wouldnt pay for an operation they were entitled to in the first place and id be happy to have a dialect with you over some tea" Life is a dollar bill sign to these greedy trolls. If I actually said what I really felt, anywhere I'd probably be sitting in a federal prison or worse. Its extremely hard to control ones anger when dealing with people like that. And I changed the way I initially felt about health care reform because well, my views were fuckin retarded. I just wanted you to know youre arent alone Jessie. And really, you need to know this, you really really really need to know this!!. I gotta say one more thing. Ive said before... I will not , not would not but WILL not be surprised in the least when one day you turn on CNN and every other channel just like on 9/11 and you see a helicopter view of one of these big insurance companies surrounded by feds and cop cars with high powered rifles and german sheperds because of a hostage situation or worse. Do you actually think when someone is at a point where they have absolutely nothing else to lose that they won't snap. I know thats not a solution, Christ, logic will tell you that, but as I stated earlier human beings have become dollar signs and people are suffering and dying from this and being left to die and being told more or less to go fuckin lie down and die. Not just old people..CHILDREN as well, your kids. And don't get me started on the pharmacy end of it or I'll stroke out right here..I could go on forever but i need to take my blood pressure pill and change the kitty litter cause right now that shit is BANGIN!!! Hang in Jesse!!! In hind site the kitty litter is making me high so I'll leave it til tomorrow. LOL!!! Joe OBrien October 30 at 8:16pm

In my humble, i'm for single payer and for giving pharma a swift kick in the balls. They profit from research that we the people pay for, then turn around and charge insane, literally insane, amounts and THEN use up lots and lots more of OUR money fighting generics. and remember they are using OUR money to go to court, which then costs US even more. I'm done with the system we have. absolutely friggin done. Give ‘em hell! In my humble, i’m for single payer and for giving pharma a swift kick in the balls.
