[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 367083, member: 135"] I keep hearing how "awful" a government controlled plan would be and how "awful" Medicaid is but I don't see it. Younger difficult child and his family are on Medicaid. They have had no trouble finding doctors and no trouble being treated. After their car accident at the end of March daughter in law's bill was over $70,000 with surgeons, hospitals, physical therapy, etc. We ended up paying about $40. She got wonderful care and is recovering nicely. The upshot is, they can get treated whenever they need it. I have needed a doctor for several years for a couple of issues but I will not be able to see one for 2 1/2 more years when my Medicare kicks in because I cannot afford to go now. I do not begrudge the people who get Medicaid. It just makes me mad that the rest of us can't get medical care because we are not millionaires. [/QUOTE]
