I would be very interested in having anyone show me one instence where medical care was not administered because they could not afford it. Hospitals across the country face finacial crisis because of of all the FREE care administered by them to the poor.
The debate before congress is not health care reform, it’s heath INSURANCE reform. Do not kid youself, there is nothing in the current debate that is designed to help even one person. It is all about giving away what they do not have to those that have not earned.

Aw, this is just typical loony-liberal feel-goodism. No facts, just show for whoever is paying attention, which is usually only those who “feel” as they do. Nonsense.

The bill being considered won’t take effect until 2013, won’t cover everybody currently without it, exempts all senators, congressmen and their staff and will increase teh national debt to further historical levels. In short it is just a ploy for the dnc to have cement political power and dominance for years to come.

If you’ve never heard of anyone dying for lack of medical care, know that there are people who do not have the funds to pay for that “next” round of chemotherapy or people who have had to wait so long for a pre-authorization for a high priced drug that they die before getting the pre-auth.

Perhaps those that fear health care reform have always been healthy, or have never been poor without insurance. I don’t know. I’m truly baffled by the antagonism towards reforming a system that’s needed reform for at least 20 years.

TJ I thought you were talking about the health care system in Canada, Britain, Germany, France and all of the countries that have government controlled health delivery systems. The Canadian government was sued by breast cancer victims who were flat out denied a very expensive med that is routinely paid for by insurance companies in this country. Their Supreme Court ordered the government to make that drug available. The millions of dollars spent for that treatment meant other patients were denied because they did not have the money.

My friend recently died of cancer; NOT for the lack of treatment, but because many cancers ultimately win. His 5 years of care was paid through Medicare, the taxpayer system. In the above noted countries his treatment would have been declared “futile” 18-24 months ago and stopped. He spent time at UNMMC and Presbyterian where he received excellent care.

It is hard to imagine anyone with a functioning brain and the facts defening our current ‘health care’ system.

We don’t have one. Unless you are muy rico.
