YOU might have a policy that makes it easy to see someone when you're sick, but a lot of people aren't so lucky. Instead, Obamacare handed the system to the insurance companies, its worst abusers. That's why we hate it.Atlanta Roofinghttp://www.yelp.com/biz/atlanta-roofing-resources-atlantanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-87570195437890836192011-03-24T00:54:54.130-07:002011-03-24T00:54:54.130-07:00As a resident of the UK I am covered completely un...As a resident of the UK I am covered completely under the NHS. While there are problems with the service, I have myself experienced no problems. We have a wonderful practice, can always be seen on the day if an emergency and after the age of 60 prescriptions are free. In addition, because we are in the EU we are also covered when travelling in other EU countries. The biggest problem other countries seem to have is finding the right coverage for visits to the USA. The American people deserve the peace of mind which would come with universal health care -- it really is a 'priceless' benefit!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-51261823838617732992011-03-24T00:15:32.261-07:002011-03-24T00:15:32.261-07:00Thank you, Rosaria for following me and encouragin...Thank you, Rosaria for following me and encouraging me.

We are pretty lucky here regarding healthcare , though probably not everyone would agree. I know a lot of people who cannot afford to be in private health funds because of the costs etc, but I think our Medicare works ok. Take care...quilterlizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285710339293711693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-6199766167416710602011-03-23T18:08:52.569-07:002011-03-23T18:08:52.569-07:00I think that it is outrageous that medical care is...I think that it is outrageous that medical care is not affordable for all.

I cannot afford a medicare supplement plan which runs 160+ dollars per month and doesn't cover drugs. My advantage plan has no monthly premium and includes prescription drugs with a small co-pay. The best deal if you can afford it is definitely a supplement plus a drug plan. An advantage plan can be an affordable compromise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-51145351880837433062011-03-23T13:28:14.229-07:002011-03-23T13:28:14.229-07:00Well, okay ... but even if you like Obama and even...Well, okay ... but even if you like Obama and even if you like the health care bill (which I do), let's not forget that any information you receive from a politician -- even a politician you like, even the President of the United States -- is going to essentially be propaganda, in the sense that it's pushing their agenda and promoting their chances for reelection.<br /><br />But that being said, the more info., the more points of view, the more transparency, the better.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-11123686867762884692011-03-23T12:59:14.612-07:002011-03-23T12:59:14.612-07:00I'm sorry to say that Americans & especial...I'm sorry to say that Americans & especially older Americans...at least those R the ones I deal with...I find that insurance companies will persuade Americans 2 buy their product & most Americans don't even know what they're buying. The biggest issue I find is insurance companies who offer the Medicare Advantage Plan....U take this in lieu of the usual Medicare most times because it also includes drugs and most times only requires copay. Have the Americans sat down & figured out how much the USA gives to this insurance company to pay for your insurance....a lot more than comes out of UR social security check.....and, the insurance company is most likely charging U a fee for this insurance as well. Add the cost up. Would U be better of having Medicare, A supplement and a drug plan to cover those drugs. R U taking a lot of drugs that would warrant the drug plan? R U seeing enough medical people to have a supplement? When U pay into Medicare, and, U end up not using it, it doesn't go to the stockholders....it goes to other Medicare patients. The insurance companies R only worried about their stockholders & their bottom lines. Figure it out. When I turn 65...Feb of 2012...U can bet UR boots that I'm staying with Medicare....may or may not buy a supplement....and may or may not buy a drug plan. And, is UR doctor of choice accepting Medicare and/or the insurance company U have chosen with the Medicare Advantage Plan? Things to think about. <br />Have a great day.Joanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079320105957390525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-2301079418691076202011-03-23T12:26:01.713-07:002011-03-23T12:26:01.713-07:00Well, I am glad the bill could help those who woul...Well, I am glad the bill could help those who would otherwise be strugglingNormalToEatPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441013159223880977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-55234661671871553022011-03-23T10:09:58.905-07:002011-03-23T10:09:58.905-07:00Do you have a link you can post to it?
