[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 299996, member: 1550"] Well, I don't trust ANY sector to be completely honest. I don't see insurance companies as honest. Heck, they deny healthcare to people who will cut into their profits--their goal is to insure healthy people at a profit to themselves. There are crooked doctors and people and doctors who aren't crooked and people who play the game the right way. That's just life. I have both Medicaid and Medicare (I'm on disability). I'm good with both. I'm getting better care and more doctor options than I ever got with expensive insurance premiums in which I often didn't go to the doctor even when I was sicker than a dog because I couldn't afford to go. I'm lucky that, to date, I've been healthy, but I'm 56...that can quickly change. I trust the government as much or more than I trust ANYTHING For Profit when it comes to healthcare. Why should anyone be without healthcare? It makes no sense to me. I went to ER once and was talking to the nurse. Now this is more dental care, but it's still scary. SHe said they can't pull teeth in ER so people who can't afford a dentist and have infected teeth pull their own teeth. I kind of gawked at her and she nodded. "They do." I go to a Medicaid Clinic for dental as do my kids. It may not be this way all over, but in Wisconsin you get the same quality of care as you do in a private dental office and can always get in for emergencies. We aren't treated like second class citizens either. It's time for everyone to get the benefits that WE get, even if they make a bit more money because a bit more money than us still won't pay for most insurance. And WE don't have to worry about pre-existing condnitions. This is why my hub makes sure he keeps his income just low enough so we qualify. But it's sad that we have to limit our income to get healthcare. by the way, this horrible government healthcare also covers our medications 100%. Well, I think I have a one dollar to three dollar co-pay ($1 for Clonazapen and $3 for Paroxatine). For those of you who think it's not good, it IS. Most doctors I want to see take it too. I hope that this is passed. And I don't want co-ops. I want real healthcare reform where everyone has a Public Option, just like our Senator's get. Why should Senators get lifetime free insurance and not us? As for the prisoners, well, they ARE indigent and we are a civilized country...we don't even let our prisoners die without healthcare and they can't pay for it. [/QUOTE]
