As long as we keep a for-profit system to deal with our medical care, and we are the only country in the world that does it this way, it probably will not improve but continue to gradually get worse. There's lots of investment money involved, and money talks. And since unions are now very weak, companies pretty much have you at their mercy-- except profits are more important to them than mercy.
I couldn't agree with you more Metis. Personally I am tired of being a pawn in these political games.
Yes, unfortunately.
From my experience, this could not be further from the truth. But, I am interested in looking into your source to see where you are getting this from. Can you provide that source please?
It's gotten much better on my end. I was finally able to get insurance that covered a much needed knee surgery, and I don't have to worry about having the money to be able to afford to see the doctor, and I'm no longer having to ask my sister to do something technically illegal by prescribing me anti-biotics when I am sick without actually having seen her as a patient (given the situation and that it's family, doctors tend to let that one slide). Overall, more people have insurance, costs are going down, no one can be denied over pre-existing conditions, and we even have a website that allows us to look up our doctors to see what pharmaceutical companies are paying them.
We're not talking about regular people, but legions of scientists who study the data and nearly unanimously agree that global warming is happening and it does pose a serious threat.Oh my gawd, your right, how could millions of people be wrong? Then again, millions of people used to think the sun revolved around the Earth.
But that was before science!!!!Oh my gawd, your right, how could millions of people be wrong? Then again, millions of people used to think the sun revolved around the Earth.
I understand. I was just speaking of myself personally.
Ya, a great many of the Germans thought the same way back in the early 1930's, and "real leadership" is what they got all right. As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for".
He hasn't launched a war against an entire people, he hasn't arrested political opponents, he has supported segregation...people who say Obama, or even Bush, is the worst president America has had do not know history.
He hasn't said anything about standing up for the little guy (but he's mocked and attacked many of the little guys, and especially women), and just because he can do stuff in his businesses does not mean he can do much in politics. In that regard, Trump has a following similar to Obama's in that many of Obama's followers thought he would be able to do more than he could or can just because he is the president.
There are some good things in it, such as the no denial for preexisting conditions. I would like to see them modify it where they keep the good parts and get rid of the stuff that makes it not so good.
I agree on that. I don't favor the idea of having to buy a private product or face any sort of penalty. Really what we need is medicare/medicaid for all, cover everyone, and have everyone pay for it because everyone goes to the doctor, and should more than they do for things like preventative care.
