reformed health care

LET ME START BY SAYING, I MIGHT BE SAYING
SOMETHING YOU DO NOT LIKE. BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS NICE, AND CLEAN. (THANK YOU).

NOW,
I WAS LISTENING TO OBAMAS PLAN ON HEALTH REFORM, AND I HAVE BEEN THINKING IT OVER FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. MY FRIENDS AND I, HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ON THE SUBJECT. I HAVE HEARD ALL SIDES.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY KUDOS TO OBAMA FOR TRYING, AND NOT BACKING DOWN!

I BELIEVE THAT WHAT HE HAD TO SAY MADE A LOT OF SENSE. I KNOW A LOT OF POOR PEOPLE WHO WERE TURNED AWAY FROM A HOSPITAL, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES, CAR INSURANCE, BURIAL INSURANCE, AND MEDICAL INSURANCE.
I ALSO KNOW PEOPLE WHO WERE HEALTHY AND WORKED FOR YEARS FOR THE SAME COMPANY, PAID INTO THEIR INSURANCE FOR YEARS AND NEVER USED IT. AND THEN WHEN THEY NEEDED TO USE IT, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD TERMINATE THEIR CONTRACT FOR ONE STUPID REASON OR ANOTHER.

AND I KNOW DOCTORS WHO DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, AND GIVE YOU ONE KIND OF MED OR ANOTHER, AND RUSH YOU OUT.

MY HUSBAND IS 72 YEARS, AND BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT JOINT PAINS HE HAS, THEY PERSCRIBED HIM TYLENOL WITH CODEINE. BUT I TELL HIM NOT TO USE IT, UNLESS HE REALLY REALLY NEEDS IT! I DO NOT WANT HIM TO GET ADDICTED!
BUT WHEN I TRIED TO GET THE DOCTOR TO TELL HIM THE SAME THING, THE DOCTOR SAID HE WOULD RATHER HAVE HIM ADDICTED TO THE PILLS AND PAIN FREE, THAN TO HAVE HIM HURTING AT HIS AGE.

BUT THE DOCTORS PERSCRIBED PAIN PILLS FOR 2 OF MY COUSINS, AND THEY GOT ADDICTED. AND WHEN THE DOCTORS NOTICED THEY WERE ADDICTED TO THE PAIN PILLS, THEY CUT THEM OFF. ONE WENT TO GETTING THE DRUGS OUT ON THE STREETS, AND THE OTHER DIED FROM WITHDRAWLS!!

UNDER OBAMAS PLAN NOT ONLY WILL PEOPLE BE ABLE TO AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE, BUT DOCTOR WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS ALSO. AND IF IT WORKS THE WAY HE WANTS IT TO, THE PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES WONT BE ABLE TO KEEP JACKING UP PRICES ON MEDS, SO INSURANCE COMPANIES WON'T NEED TO JACK UP THEIR RATES,
WE CAN CHOOSE THE DOCTOR WE WANT, (AND WON'T BE FORCED TO USE AN HMO DOCTOR)!

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK, BUT I DO KNOW THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS TO TRY SOMETHING!
AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW IF IT WORKS, IF WE DON'T TRY! I AM SURE IT WILL HAVE SOME KINKS TO IRON OUT, BUT WE NEED TO SEE WHERE THOSE KINKS ARE.

SO IF YOU AGREE, BACK OUR PRESIDENT!!!!
AND IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, STATE YOUR OPINION, WITHOUT GOING INTO A RAGE.
ONCE A PERSON STARTS YELLING, EVERYONE STOPS LISTENING!
