I don’t understand why people are so against Health care reform. I really can’t get my brain around that at all. Take me for example. I have worked most of my adult life, even after I had my first major heart attack when I was 35 and had a double bypass, I still went back to work after I healed. I still worked after 11 more heart attacks until the 12th one disabled me. Through out my entire life I always had health insurance and never understood what everyone was crying about. Until it actually hit me personally.
When we moved down here to FL for my husbands new job and his school, his employer only offered employee only health benefits. Myself and the kids were not covered. No big deal says Dr. Corny, we will just buy it separate. I wasn’t overly concerned. That is, until I started making phone calls and found that NOBODY would cover me. NOBODY because of my pre existing heart condition. I couldn’t buy and pay for it myself. I was totally uninsurable for one whole year. Then Dr. Cornys boss finally got family coverage for him. Dig this, 600 a month with a 48 hundred dollar deductible. The kids have their own private policy that we pay for thru a different company, at 200 a month. With my insurance we have to pay the first 48 hundred dollars before they will cover anything, and pay them 600 dollars a month I guess that is a membership fee? Like Sam’s club? So, I need some very expensive tests done, and we have to save money and keep putting in our Health Savings Account. Can’t get anything done until we have the money in there. I think I get one Dr Visit a year paid for, after that, the deductible kicks in and I have to pay for all Dr visits. I have to see my Doctor every 2 months for med refills, he wont give me more than that. Everyone wants a piece of the pie don’t they. He also wants blood tests done each time I go in. My Dr visits run around 300 a visit. Which I think is absolute highway robbery.
So, please for the love of God, those of you that think we don’t need Health Care reform, tell me why. Help me understand why the big corporations can do this to us and we follow along like sheep, saying ohhh I’m bent over give it to me harder it feels so good. We want to you keep taking all of our money and giving us less and less in coverage. Please help me understand. Or is it, as I have been told, that Americans just don’t want the Black Democrat changing health care? God I hope not.
Do some states have better health coverage then others? Is Florida the only state that sucks this hard? What’s health insurance in NC like or Texas, or any of the other states? Cause if there is a difference between the states, then maybe I need to freaking move, before I die literally waiting to save enough money to cover my deductibles. Crying freaking shame if you ask me. The system is soo very broken. WHY all the hatred and fighting about getting fixed?
