A co-worker who lost his job. He couldn't afford to care for his family and pay for his medication at the same time. He's dead as a result. His name was James Marcino. ABC did a report recently that claims you have a 40%greater chance of dying from a serious illnss if you are uninsured. I also remember watching a 60 minutes segment on HMO's and the administrators who's job it was to deny claims and coverage to meet the bottom line. People died as a result.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463472772679876402.post-13897927864314936052009-09-29T13:29:15.516-04:002009-09-29T13:29:15.516-04:00http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/09/18/deaths.health...http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/09/18/deaths.health.insurance/index.html/mrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211523357780609413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463472772679876402.post-16937794847771804322009-09-29T11:45:34.383-04:002009-09-29T11:45:34.383-04:00Bob:

Obama says he's not looking to copy the single payer system. As for providing health care for illegals,that was passed back in 1986 with the Emergency medical treatment & active labor act. Ronald Reagan. And it was the right thing to do. If an illegal walked into an emergency room with a cracked skull, would you deny that person treatment? The Death Panel argument is nothing but a scare tactic. It was a dishonest spin on actual legislative proposals that would provide financing for optional consultations with doctors about hospice care and other “end of life” services. You tell me what's so bad about that?<br /><br />BTW, it was a pleasure meeting you last week. Had a good time.

By the way, the devil will be in the details of this health reform bill that not a single member of congress will read before it is passed. <br /><br />The bill will create agencies that will be given broad rule making authority. You guessed it, the agencies using their rule making authority will provide the details and ration health care, create death panels, limit access to prescriptions, mandate health care for everyone even illegals, etc... It is coming unless people wake up.<br /><br />C.

Are these isolated incidents,or are these the norm? You hear stories of people in this country who die because they don't have insurance. <br />Isolated incidents or the norm?<br />From what I understand, Canadians are pretty happy with their health care.Bobnoreply@blogger.com
