[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 299826, member: 1550"] Obama doesn't want CAnadian healthcare. That's a rumor thrown around mostly by talk show hosts. He wants everyone to keep their insurance if they like it and can afford it, but he wants a public option--the kind of medical care the President himself and other public servants receive. I'm uncomfortable thinking of people out t here with no healthcare. We have Medicaid. It's great. I think it's better than when we had insurance, which become unaffordable, and we still get to pick our doctors. All doctors at university hospitals take it and that's where I'd go even if I had insurance. We can't afford steep co-pays and $1000 per person before the insurance kicks in, so I'm good with what we have. BUT...we have to play the game. Hub can only make so much and so can we. If he made a little more we wouldn't be eligible, and we sure as hello wouldn't be able to afford large premiums and deductables plus co-pays. I would like everyone to be insured, if that's what they want, and I do like the Public Option. The Canadian System is NOT on the table here, except in the minds of some who like to spread misinformation...and all of those talkers have plenty of money to pay for healthcare. Talk to the parents on the street whose kids have to go to the emergency room for an ear infection. And, by the way, I worked at hospitals. That c hild HAS to be treated, but if the family can't pay, the cost of that care is written off. And who pays for it? You guessed it...you do. It's the reason hospital costs are so high. [/QUOTE]
