DRAC'S FORUM

I personally think what they should have done was just pass a bill to fix a few issues kind of what they did with the credit card companies recently.  Just make a few rules that the insurance companies need to abide by.  Like, covering all pre-existing conditions & making a limit to how much the insurance companies can charge people.  No tax for not having health care, no forcing people to have health care(tax), just pass a few guidelines just like they did with the credit card companies but for the insurance companies.

My wife is a stage 3C cancer surivor and her oncologist is from Europe and he told us straight out that if she hadn't been treated in the US she would be dead because in Europe Inflamitory Breast Cancer is considered too expensive and the chance of remission too low to treat. Within a week of her diagnosis she was on chemo and I didn't have to sell my house to pay the co-pay.  No one in America is denied healthcare. It is illegal to do so but world class health care isn't cheap and comes at a cost. So instead of screwing everyone out of good healthcare it should be made easier for small companies and people to afford their own healthcare.  Significant tax breaks and allowing competition across state lines would go a long way towards that goal.  Europe is going the way of Greece because of the nanny state, everyone wants it now and they want it free.  The problem with socialized anything is that it's  great until you run out of other peoples' money.

Free market, individual freedom.

Here is a PM a guy sent me...This is another example of what we are talking about.

ME: I was told by my orthopedic surgeon (Who is one of the best in Houston and is a friend of mine who trains with us at the gym) that my knee is now fully operational. It is as good as new. I just need to wait for the soreness and swelling to go down.

I plan on only doing physical therapy for a week or two. Then training by ONLY doing drills for a week or two. And then sparring at like 20% and moving up.

You see, Dr. Lubor told me my knee is fine now, there was no damage to the cartilage because we acted so fast. My meniscus was pressing against my cartilage and was going to start killing it soon causing irreparable damage. My knee wouldn't be the same if I would of waited 6 months to get a MRI and then a year to get surgery. That shit is crazy, I can't even imagine that.

That isn't a solution, a year and a half of a torn meniscus destroying irreplaceable cartilage due to waiting lists is a PROBLEM.

Wow..after going through this..I couldn't imaging having to of wait an entire YEAR with a meniscus flipped into my joint, killing my cartilage and preventing me from opening or closing my knee fully.

That's where the scam comes in.  The feds could insure everyone without insurance for a fraction of the cost of the current trillion dollar plan.  BUT the plan is designed to undercut private insurers out of business leaving the gov't the only plan.  Obama wants a single payer system.
