Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Lynda, I agree totally. I hear it is better in France but it's not a single payer system? I need to do some research. It also gives me the CREEPS knowing Obama, with his cabinet full of Wallstreet & Bankeres is making deals with Big Pharma. assuring them they will still get their cut. And he seems to change his promises every other day! Sometimes he contradicts himself in the same speech. He promised he would give the legislators plenty of time to read the legislation but instead they have this 1000+ page document and only a few days to go over it much less discuss it, debate and make an educated decision! I think we should have a freaking law that no legislation can be passed until it's been read in full and debated for x number of hours. or something. The patriot act wasn't even read before it was signed into law. And that think is a total betrayal of the American People and the Constitution they have all sworn to uphold.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It seems obvious to me that if you remove the insurance companies, and have the government pay (single payer), you are obviously addressing " usurious " costs. In fact, this is one of the arguments of the opposition - that a public option is " unfair " to private insurance companies, who won't be able to compete. Re: Please Boycott Whole Foods!!! Â > Healthcare is a RIGHT, and the only way to > accomplish that is through > a single payer system.: The pursuit of health is a right. Today's " health care " is profit-generating products and services. Who all has profited while Americans pay more for less? Fiddling with " who pays " without addressing usurious costs is just adding all the uninsured to the sucker pool of those who enrich the providers. I don't think this is too OT for the group, but I was wondering... if we have laws about usury, making it illegal to make too much profit off loans, why can't we have laws about health care usury?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, sure - but it does address a major part of it, and the ability to negotiate with drug companies, etc, would bring more of it down. In other words, I think that a strong single payer program would address enough of the issues to be so much better than what is available now, that it would be worth doing....there ain't going to be a revolution any time soon. Re: Please Boycott Whole Foods!!! Â > It seems obvious to me that if you remove the insurance companies, > and have the government pay (single payer), you are obviously > addressing " usurious " costs. But only the usurious costs of insurance. There are also the usurious costs of: - medical specialists (making $300,000 a year and up) - hospital care. (what is their markup anyway, I wonder) - devices and equipment (making fortunes for their purveyors) - disposable supplies - drugs themselves - drug executives - advertising for drugs - making " foundations " to recommend drugs as the standard of care (AHA, ADA) - manipulating research in the direction of everyone needing vaccines & drugs - all the ways making organic food too expensive Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Connie You are right but the usury laws for loans have been FAR relaxed. The credit card companies alone are just insane. no way it should be legal. I think loan sharks give better rates. Health " insurance " is a product that you buy, it is not a right. Insurance is not prepaid medical care. Insurance is what I buy for my house in case there is a tornado that destroys it or a fire. Health " insurance " used to be just that, insurance but now everyone is sick, and everyone is on something even when they don't seem to need it. Heck they are putting 2 year olds on psychiatric drugs because they are " too active " or throw tantrums. We need to have big pharma reigned in, we need to have the shields that protect the vaccine manufacturers from litigation when they kill people with their ill-tested and dangerous vaccines removed. We need to have these corporations OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT. Obama is a talking head. And he can't even keep the lines straight. The FDA is a joke, they have a revolving door with Pharma and Agri-Business, they give approval to dangerous and untested drugs/vaccines and then turn around and harass and fine small family businesses, supplements and herbal manufacturer's out of business. Is it because these people are dangerous? No, it's because they are cutting into the profit shares of the people who run the FDA and who pull the strings of our government. And of course don't forget the big food companies. everything is really owned by a handful of big corporations/banks.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 So true, Dawn. What a joke, the FDA lets the big companies get away with all sorts of stuff then come with guns loaded to shut down small raw-milk dairies for instance. It's way out of line.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 No, we sanction the usurious costs and it gets ripped out of me in taxes. I’m currently struggling to get by, we have no insurance. I was treated like dirt by the ER when I came in on Medicaid! When I went in later with no insurance it was more affordable and I was treated more like a person. Why is this? Because Medicaid has rules to get people out with as little money involved as possible. And then they dictated to me and tried to scare me into feeding their approved formals and getting all the vaccinations done on my son and wellness check ups. If our government takes over all insurance it will be a nightmare. Our government has already proved many times how inept it is, how greedy the people running it are and how little most of them actually care about the people. Just look at Katrina! The local churches in Houston were doing more for people than I saw happening from any government “agencyâ€. It may work in Canada and UK, but then again I hear just as many stories about how it does. People who have to prove they are almost blind in BOTH eyes before they can get surgery that will save their vision. I hear France is different and better but I don’t know much about that except it’s not the same kind of system as Canada and the UK. One Republican Congressman wrote a bill for health care that put us all under the same program that our Congressman and Senators are under. He was talking about it on Bill Maher’s show. Wish I could remember his name. Ah here he is: Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) I don’t know anything more about him just thought his comments were interesting.
