[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 349744, member: 84"] Loth, I agree. It's the [I]takeover[/I] part that most scares me. And it's certainly not like our govt has a reputation for running things well. There are a wide variety of ways reform could have been done much more effectively without the govt sticking their noses into it. And since social security funds are running out........well, that sort of speaks for itself. Govt took over GM. mother in law lost her good insurance, although via the govt she was just supposed to get a different scaled down version of her old insurance thru them. Now what she has is insurance that is "supposed" to be from GM, but it isn't........they stuck a new label on it and it's medicare. Believe me, sister in law and I've had enough arguments with them to find out. New version GM insurance refused to pay mother in law's nursing home fees because she can't be rehabed. Medicare, you can't claim it because her "new" insurance[B] is[/B] medicare under a hidden behind different name. So had to pay all fees out of pocket until her money ran out (took 4 months by the way) and now she has to drop "GM" insurance to qualify for medicaid. That is what govt does when they stick their noses into areas they have no business sticking their noses into. They turn it into an even bigger mess than it was before. If govt hadn't "saved" GM, mother in law would've used medicare......a vast majority of her bills would've been paid......without all the confusion......until her money ran out from deductibles and she had to transfer to medicaid.
