Insurance

I have to say I am tired of the way the Government is acting. When has it become so apparent that they don’t care about the people that pay them to run the government?  I am not sure about the government shutdown I just see that friends are become divided over issues that are clearly out of their hands.   

I am a people person and I really try to see everyone’s point of view before makes choices. I guess you can say I walk a fine line between them both.  I am so unhappy that others are so narrow minded in their thought process that they can’t see beyond their own thought process.

Our nation is sick. Sick because they can’t seem to see that we can’t save the world if we are not saving ourselves.  I want to say that I believe everyone has a right to medical insurance. I hear people saying they don’t think that they should pay for other who don’t.  The problem is we already are. It isn't the people on Medicaid or Medicare that soak the system. It is the uninsured worker who can’t afford to go to the doctor until it becomes a hospital visit.  They can’t afford to go and when they do its often so bad it cost more and they don’t pay. Sometimes it takes years to pay back bill. Often times people file bankruptcy and expect other to pick up the cost and they do.  We do!

Insurance companies make deals with hospitals so they insured get there bills paid at a cut rate. But the working man who doesn't have insurance usually pays up to 50% for the same service. I believe the Insurance Industry needs to be overhauled. They only insure the healthy.  I can’t afford insurance because I am diabetic.  If I get sick I will loss all that I worked for and my husband will be beside me losing everything.  I don’t believe in all of the new health care system but it is a start. We can tweak it to make it work for everyone. But health insurance is important.

A balanced government budget need to happen but not at the expense of health care. We will pay one way or another in the end.   The system is broke and it needs to be fixed. I am pretty sure we can all agree on that.
