[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 81020, member: 1967"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> does anyone really believe that Cuba has better health care than the USA? </div></div> Yes, for the 44 million uninsured Americans (Census, 2006) that can't afford health care. I think it is very easy for those of us with health insurance to lose sight of the fact that many people cannot afford a doctor's visit, never mind a life-threatening illness like cancer. How can anyone justify that we live in a country that doesn't even make sure that all of our children have access to healthcare? My difficult child didn't have health insurance for the last two years. It was a huge relief to us when she went back to school and was covered by my school insurance. She still has trouble, though, paying for the copays so we have to help her with those. Nancy ~ you premiums are unbelievable. How can anyone afford that? It made me appreciate my school insurance. My whole family is covered for $188 a month. Of course, that is for HMO coverage which is fine as long as you are basically healthy. Witz ~ I agree that the term "socialized medicine" is being used as a scare tactic. I hate it when radio and television talk show personalities use it. I'm sure that they all have great health coverage and a hefty salary to cover the copays. I wonder how they would feel if they had a child with cancer and no insurance on an average person's salary. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
