Kim – Medical care for prisoners is great. Medical care for people who have served this country is awful.

And that is a complete and utter disgrace.

As for me and the children, our medical insurance isn’t too bad. I just wish the hospitals and offices would actually submit the stuff to the insurance company. We got a call from a collection agency wanting money for a bill from a visit a couple of weeks ago. We never received the bill and it was never sent to the insurance company. It went straight to collections bypassing everything else.

“Taxpayer dollars are limited for publicly funded programs. We try to come up with polices that provide the most good for the most people.”

No money for you ma’am. We need 38,000 a month for this illegal alien that is on dialysis for his kidneys. Also he is incarcerated for sexually assaulting some children. so add the cost of him in incarceration in too and I think we could have taken care of this ladies problem. But, NOOOOO we have to take care of those illegal aliens first!
True story, we have an illegal alien in state prison right now that is there for sexual assualt, and rape of a child and we are providing dialysis for his kidneys!!!

Wyatt, get me the duct tape fast!!!

Most of our elected officials refuse to make these hard choices. So they try to provide everything for the so-called weak in society. It is generally the same llazy people that get welfare, free day care, free school lunches, free Septa bus passes, Section 8 housing vocuhers, etc. And they get it forever!

We should set a lifetime maximum benefit per individual! Once thet reach that – tell them to go the F away and never come back.

If we did that there would be enough tax money to provide some sort of basic health insurance benefit to everyone.

Unless their employer pays for most of it, of course.
Most people with employer provided plans just don’t realize how expensive it is.

Here’s a link to my county’s employee benefit page with the monthly premiums for the insurance that’s offered.

Multiply those numbers by 12 for a yearly figure, and you’ll find it’s fucking scary how much good coverage costs.

I wonder if there was “universal heath care” if they would waste the money on Ted Kennedy, “He gets it because he is a Senator” and Barbara Wagner “does not because she is a peon?”

I heard a similar story earlier in the week about a gentleman denied chemo & other cancer treatments, but offered assisted suicide and hospice via Oregon.

I cannot tell you how much that pisses me off. Think of the people told they would not be cured, that with determination and even faith, were healed. The brain-trust running Oregon’s system would decide they weren’t worth the risk.
