| Why the big complaints about universal health care?  | | | |  As I see it, most of the United States already gets publicly funded health care. All public school teachers, government officials and employees, those on Medicare and Medicaid, and any health care personnel who work in facilities where the majority of the money comes from Medicare or Medicaid, and all members of the armed forces all have their health care funded by the taxpayers. We could extend this to those who work in industries whose primary income is derived from government and military spending. We can also throw in anyone who works in research or public service that is funded by grant money. State colleges and universities are receiving healthcare paid out of the taxes collected. The list goes on and on and on. So, why shouldn't the rest of us have the same access to lower cost health care. Those who purchase individual plans can spend as much as $2,000 per month for health care premiums. Forcing companies to form group plans for this segment will be a real boon to these individuals and families and should free up some money for helping to purchase goods that will stimulate the economy.

| |  Oh please someone from Canada needs to respond to this post...
This I got this information from a friend who lives in Canada where they have this plan and it is a horrible plan..
some medications that people need for some illness like cancer are not going to be available for them anymore for one.

| |  Did you not hear that Obama is going to rationalize health care? So that the elderly and the disabled will be put in the back burner while the not so sick will get the best attention? So if you are old and sick, you may be advised to just die or take some pills. Then there is the cost of the medications. Once you give universal healthcare to everyone, that everyone includes those on welfare, or those who cannot pay the premiums. In Canada, there are some medications that are much better at curing cancer and other disease, yet because of the cost, we cannot get them on our universal health care plan.
Why my husband has als has to take a certain medication that costs about $500 a month. Right now, he gets part back on his Blue Cross (we have to pay so much a month premium for it) and when his allowance for that is done, he will have to pay the $500 or so a month for it until we reach the allowable amount on our Pharmacare and that is almost $3,000. Then not all provinces have it. We are lucky in Manitoba.
Oh and do you not realize that part of the reason for people here not getting the right medications is because once you get universal healthcare, then people will go to the emergency room for minor things such as scrapes and cuts.

| | I will add that not all procedures are available in each province. For instance, we had this baby who was born with few white blood cells and he had to flown to Alberta because the procedure that would save his life was not available in Manitoba =oh and he died. In other cases, people had to go to Alberta. I missed out on getting help in fertility because it was not available here in Manitoba.
And by the way, the health care system is worse in Great Britain where they practice rationalizing and if you cannot pay, you wind up not getting the proper treatment. Oh and guess what method Obama is going to start? Yes, the one in Great Britain. | | | | | | | Cut Down Stomach Fat Fast Incorporate these workout methods to cut down your stomach fat fast.

| |  Besides what suspenseful posted, you have to do the math. Everyone can have lower cost health care? Who pays the full price, then? Because health care is expensive... who takes up the slack?
Want to guess?
