I enjoy paying my own way.


Even if it costs you half again as much.


Half? Try 3x or 4x if health care were truly reformed removing the FDA
and AMA monopolies. Making health care affordable would eliminate these
debates and discussions from the table.

Sucker.

yep sounds republican.


Yeh, that whole, ummm, personal responsibility thingy really upsets some
folks.


If you're so in favor of "personal responsibility" then why don't you
insist on higher taxes?

Under the squirrels and the hawkes system, I pay for theirs and I pay
for mine, and some else says who gets dibs on appointments and
treatments.

never heard of an HMO did you? they tell you what doctors you'll go to,
what treatment they'll pay for, etc.


I could have selected the HMO route and paid less. Instead I selected a
Preferred Choice plan.


As opposed to paying your own way?

you really HAVE swallowed the GOP kool aid, haven't you? you don't have
control over your health care at all. your boss does. your insurance
company does.


As it stands now, I can change plans and I can change bosses.


And if you get sick or injured and can't work, you can't get any plan, you
can't get any job, and you and your family go broke.

The leading cause of personal bankruptcies is medical emergencies.


Second leading cause, yes!

The per capita cost of health care in the US is 50% more than any
other industrial nation.

As it stands now, I can change plans and I can change bosses.

Illness and medical bills caused half of the 1,458,000 personal
bankruptcies in 2001, according to a study published by the
journal Health Affairs.

I'm not contesting your numbers, I'm asserting that costs could be
one-half to one-quarter of current values.

you can't get any job, and you and your family go broke.

That was true in 2005. Don't have the cites at hand but recently read a
news article which said that personal, mainly credit card, debt was due
to the bad economy.

Are you sure you don't want to go with the little squirrels numbers?
It makes health care sound like it's even more of a problem, which is
his goal. Energize the vote and all that.

Hmmmm? Bankruptcies in 2001 were probably from costs incurred in
2000.

Why didn't Bill Clinton take better care of America?
