Same old stuff, different wrapper
My company recently sent out a brochure about our health plan.
Among other gems it says, "we can all get the most from our health care by taking increased responsibility for maintaining and managing our health and that of our families. It is focused on preventive care and wellness, and encourages us to take greater control over how health care dollars are spent."
It goes on and on about how we need to be efficient with our health dollars yet the insurance plan gives us no incentive to do so.
The only way people will think frugally about health care is if they are spending their own hard earned cash on it.
It reminds me of Senator Bennett's (R-UT) Healthy Americans Act. This large piece of poo would force insurance companies to provide "affordable, guaranteed private health coverage that makes them (US citizens) healthier and can never be taken away."
Did you read that closely?!?
Did Bennett really say that!!!
affordable - guaranteed - private - can never be taken away
IS HE REALLY THAT STUPID???
This man is in the US Senate.
He has the power to do things to all 300+ million of us (minus those 435 geniuses in Congress who are exempt from their own SS)
p.s. SS is an acronym. The second S stands for Shoveling.

Sand Shoveling?
So, I think the problem doesn't lie in those of us who work hard and have insurance benefits, which most pay a monthly premium. It is with those like my sweet sister-in-law. Who is always at the hospital and never pays for it. Why should she have to the government will especially if she doesn't work.
I once heard a woman complaining at the park that Medicaid refused to pay for the circumcision of her son, and that she had to pay 500.00 for it. To that I replied, well, I paid 4,000.00 for the delivery plus an entire year of insurance premium at 4,300.00, plus roughly 15,000.00 in taxes, and then said yeah, "by that point, we couldn't afford that ELECTIVE surgery." We decided to put that money in a skippy skins account.
