You can''t have serious healthcare reform on a state level if you want to regulate industry practices such as denying coverage to those with "pre-existing conditions"(whatever the insurance companies don''t want to pay for).
The companies will threaten to move out odf state and leave all consumers without coverage. The only way to reign in industry abuse is at the federal level.
Did states rights work for civil rights?
I say government needs to get serious about real government for a while instead of gimmick politics.
We need someone who''ll work on civil stability. Someone who''ll reaffirm the Constitution and a positive direction for this country.
Healthcare reform seems to be very popular amongst politicians when in fact, it is merely a supporting aspect that could be handled by a working group within congress. Not the Executive branch. If she wants to be president, she needs to stop living on a state level. The needs of people in Oklahoma are not the same as those in Florida or Indiana when it comes to healthcare "reform". This is something that could and should be handled on a state level anyway.
"Luckily" I worked for a large corporation so I am covered by United Healthcare and I have to pay "only" a premium of several hundred dollars a month to be insured and then about one hundred dollars a months for the medications.
Every time I get my medications at Walgreens the packages tell me how much I saved by being covered
by United with respect to the "Full price". According to my insurance they save me several hunderd dollars a month.
To my big surprise, I was in Europe and I bought the same exact medications WITHOUT insurance for the SAME PRICE I pay in the USA with the coverage. The difference is that to get that price in the USA I need to be covered at a cost of several hundred a month.
This is a scam, and the Americans that think they are smart because they do not follow the examples of Canada or Europe because they are afraid of concepts like government-run health care or universal coverage are just being fooled by big business that makes huge money from their ignorance and selfishness.
If you work you must pay a tax for the health coverage system, and the the more money you make the higher your contribution to the system.
If you are poor or old you pay a symbolical "ticket" for most medications and procedures. This is civilization in my book. Not to have to show your insurance card to be admitted into a hospital if I am feeling sick or I had an accident.
What...an...absolutely...dumb...poll.
The people are just voting based on name ID. And CBS has the nerve to post this as if it anything but mindless, Clinton propaganda.
What a joke, the media in the United States have become.
