If we had universal health care and not-for-profit medicine we wouldn't need to be paying Judges, Courts, Administrative fees, lawyers getting 25% dont care if it take 5 years. The longer the better.
......Friggen Washington is completely out of touch, because they want to be.
..............And we are spreading democracy? Welcoming anchor babies, giving every member of Congress free healthcare & their families for life. ...
.....................Washingion are Civil Servants, not Gods!
This is a truly tragic ending to a story that should never be.
.............OMG....We need to end the US Govt.'s Welfare Ride.
Clinton's have two mansions whose mortgages are paid by taxpayers.
THE WASTE IS ALL IN WASHINGTON AND ON THE HIGHEST LEVELS ...perks, parties, limos, pensions, on and on and on and on. While the taxpayer, the working family dies.
..........Linda thanks for this story... Another tale that must be turned around immediately.
This is truly inexcusable. ....

Carol, Our neighboring country Canada has a much better healthcare system and lower medical fees.

We have no medical fees.....unless you need something like a Des note and that is something like $10

Ludricious, and to make matters worse, health care costs are escalating higher every day making it even less available for more and more people.

We really don't care for our own very well at all...and it make me FURIOUS! It's one of the reasons that undocumented immigration pisses me off so much too...because illegals suck up so much of our resources that we SHOULD be directing to our own citizens.

It is my opinion that you can tell the quality of a country /business/family by the way it treats its people...just my opinion
And Cate Illegal immigrants are just desperately trying to have a life ...with food every day and a safe place to lay their head at night, our relatives /ancestors were all immigrants illegal and not ......I dont live there so I cant say how you guys have to put up with things but I also feel that a person must be desperate to be an illegal citizen in any country...again just my opinion for what it is worth..

Hospitals, drug makers, doctors and insurers gave candidates in both parties more than $11 million in the first nine months of this year, according to an analysis of campaign finance records done for The New York Times by the Center for Responsive Politics, an independent group that tracks campaign financ

For over a decade the Mexican President's (2) tell their citizens how to get here, what to do once here, how to work, have health care & education... Then send their money home.
Of all & any immigrants you hear about in America being sent home for illegal entry, it is always a, Cuban, Haitian, Guatemalan, or someone from Honduras. NEVER MEXICO, which are coming in droves just for the healthcare & jobs.
No You Cant Blame them but it is obvious we have 2 very corrupt Governments working together for the good of private enterprise. and not ones country.

We dont just have an 'immigration problem'. This is an INVASION with welcome signs, directions, and a one way ticket North.

Yet, Health care should not be for profit, nd there lies the other 1/2 of the problem.
It is tragic that such a boastful wealthy America has heathcare only for the poor of the poorest, or the elite.
One surgery cost a friend of mine (lawyer) 36,000. She paid out of pocket.
I was taking injections weekly that cost me 500 plus other medicines needed with it.

Simple example ...Ambian, or Lunesta for sleeping..$4. to $5. per lowest dosage of on pill.

Wjem my son was a baby in England the Dr. always told me to see the Chemist before seeing him
The Chemist is the Pharmacy. I bought diaper rash cream in 16 oz tubs for $3 us dollars.
I come back to good old USA. Son gets same rash, Pharmacy tells me I must take the baby to a doctor he is not allowed to advise me. I pay $55. for Dr. Appt. get a perscription for rash cream, take back to US Pharmacy and get less tha 1/2 oz or grm.... ( tiny tiny tube) For $35.00.
It is no different than what I had been getting in England by the tub for $3.00 and no doctor.

This for profit must be controlled, at the very least in a similar way they control the public from suing a doctor or pharm. comp for injury. Govt calls it caps or pharm, dr. hosp protection. BS what about the people?

I will tell you something about me and SS disability. I have been on disability for many years ,several years ago
I tryed to go back to work part time I worked at the job for close to 8yrs but that is another story,which I can not speak of , problem while working there I went over what I was allowed to make. when I went for review at Social Security I was told I had gone over but the the whole year divide by 12 to get what I made per month. a few years I get a letter saying I owe 27,000.00. they wanted me to pay back every every penny they had given me. So if tis happens at the hearing in 2/08 I do not know what to do They tell you one thing and turn around and say something completely different!

Ya, I seen Granny get a $6 dollar raise in SS and the state of TN took it ALL back in the food stamps she was receiving!! What kinda raise is that?? Y sister FINALLY got on disability after about a year after seeing many doctors and lawyers. What is the equation? 10 doctors + 10 lawyers= Disability??

Linda, What is even more pathetic is spending late nights and many months reading through legislation, update, reulations. and there everything is contradicited by another line or paragraph. Totally sensless. I don't think they know the rules because like Bush/Cheneys Law, they make them as they go. Then it takes lawyers to make stronger ones in your defense.
It is all a friggen comedy-tragedy of errors.
please eamil me when the 08 hearing makes its decision...
I will be very interested to hear how and why it comes out the way it will.

Or....These unnecessary delays and denials, are leading up to getting everyone to accept a little RFD Chip.
Take the chip, the vaccines, must have all info for process to avoid bogging down.

..............We wont have common sense health care in America until they can track us.
