EVERYONES ISSUES WITH INSURANCE

YOU KNOW THE LAST FEW WEEKS IVE HAD QUITE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO MAKE AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF LIVING WITH THE PLANS HE WANTS TO ENFORCE. ONE THING THAT I NOTICE THE MOST IS THAT PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA ARE TERRIFIED OF CHANGES BUT THAT ALSO SAY PEOPLE IN ENGLAND WOULD BE TERRIFIED IF THEY HAD TO CHANGE TO OUR SYSTEM. THE TRUTH IS NO SYSTEM IS PERFECT AND NO ONE IS REALLY TOTALLY HAPPY WITH ANY SYSTEM. I GUESS THERES BEEN TALK ON RADIO SHOWS HERE THAT PEOPLE IN ENGLAND ARE HAVING TO DIE BEFORE THEY CAN GET TREATMENT, THEY USED PEOPLE WITH CANCER AS AN EXAMPLE. THAT OF COURSE GOT PEOPLE OVER HERE ALL STRESSED AND TERRIFIED ABOUT HAVING TO LIVE WITH SUCH A TERRIBLE SYSTEM AND ALSO GOT PEOPLE QUESTIONING ME. HAVING A MOTHER RIGHT NOW OVER THERE IN THAT SYSTEM I CAN REPORT THAT SHE IS TOTALLY HAPPY WITH THE QUAITY OF CARE SHE IS GETTING. YES I ADMIT I THOUGH SHE HAD TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER THEN I SEE OVER HERE FOR TEST RESULTS BUT SINCE THEN IVE SEEN PEOPLE OVER HERE GET CANCER AND THERE WAIT BEFORE TREATMENT AND TESTS ARE AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME. I THINK IT WAS JUST THE FACT THAT IT WAS MY MOTHER THAT I WAS SO STRESSED ABOUT HER WAITING A FEW WEEKS I WANTED EVERYTHING DONE RIGHT AWAY. THE PLUS SIDE OF A SYSTEM LIKE ENGLAND IS THAT MY PARENTS FEEL THERE GETTING EXCELLENT CARE, MY MOM HAS A 24 HOURS AROUND THE CLOCK NURSE SHE CAN CALL AT ANY TIME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. SHE WILL NEVER HAVE TO PAY A PENNY FOR HER MANY TESTS, CHEMO, MEDS OR HOSPITAL STAYS. THAT GIVES US PEACE OF MIND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT MEDICAL BILLS. I HAVE SEEN MANY FAMILIES THOUGH WORK THAT HAVE LOST THERE HOMES WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER GETS CANCER, CANT AFFORD THE MEDS, AND WHEN THERE LOVED ONE DIES THEY THEN HAVE TO TURN TO SORTING OUT MOUTANINS OF BILLS THEY CANNOT EVER PAY. IVE ALSO SEEN PEOPLE KICKED OFF THERE INSURANCE ONCE THEY GET CONFRIMED WITH CANCER. THAT TO ME IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM. BUT PEOPLE HERE WILL STILL STAND STRONG AND NOT WANT CHANGES. EVEN THO IVE SEEN THEM GO TO MEXICO FOR THERE DENTAL WORK OR TO BUY MEDS THAT COULD HARM THEM BECAUSE THERE CHEAPER THEN HERE, WHEN THE FACT IS THE MEDS ARE NOT THE SAME HERE AND PLAYING WITH MEDS LIKE THAT IS VERY HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. IF OUR SYSTEM WAS SO GOOD WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT????? IVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD. I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND CHANGES I ADMIT COULD AFFECT MY JOB, IF DOCTORS LOST SOME OF THERE INCOME DUE TO THE CHANGES IM SURE THAT COULD AFFECT ME. BUT EVEN WITH MY SMALL SURGERYS THIS YEAR WE HAVE AROUND THREE THOUSAND OUT OF POCKET MEDICAL BILLS RIGHT NOW TO PAY. THATS WITH PAYING TONS FOR THE MEDICAL INSURANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE HAVE TO FIGHT WITH OUR INSURANCE FOR EVERY BILL WE SUBMIT. WE ARE FIGHTING THEM RIGHT NOW OVER A MINOR SURGERY I HAD DONE IN APRIL. WHO NEEDS THAT IN THERE LIFES ALSO? IF I DIDNT WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET SAMPLES FROM THE REPS FOR MY CHILDRENS ASTHMA AND THE MEDS I NEED THEN WE WOULD BE PAYING AROUND 300.00 OR MORE A MONTH IN MEDS. DO CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE HERE, YES THEY DO, SAYING THAT I DONT THNK THEY EVER WILL BE MADE. THERES TOO MANY PEOPLE MAKING MONEY ON ALL THIS TO ALLOW THE CHANGES THAT THE PEOPLE COULD LIVE WITH AND AFFORD. THATS WHY THE RADIOS ARE SCARING PEOPLE WITH THE SO CALLED TERRIBLE SYSTEMS OVERSEAS. IM NOT SAYING THE MEDICAL OVERSEAS IS PERFECT, I ADMIT I ENJOY THE CARE I GET OVER HERE MORE, BUT THAT SAID I HATE THE EXPENSE AND HARDSHIP I HAVE HAD AND I SEE OVER HERE IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT CARE. HOW MANY OF YOU CAN SAY YOURVE NEVER PUT OFF TAKING A SICK KID TO THE DOCTORS BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO PAY A CO PAY FOR NOTHING OR YOUR WORRIED ABOUT THE COST. I CAN SAY OVERSEAS I NEVER DID!!!!! WHEN VISITING ONCE WITH HEATHER WHEN SHE WAS A BABY SHE CAME DOWN WITH STREP AT MIDNIGHT ON A WEEKEND. MY MUM CALLED THE DOCTOR HE WAS AT OUR HOUSE IN 30 MINS, CONFRIMED STREP, EVEN HAD A BOTTLE OF MEDS FOR HER AS PHARMACYS WERE CLOSED!!! WHEN I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH I OWE (AFTER ALL I WAS VISITING) HE AND MY PARENTS LAUGHTED AND LAUGHTED. IT WAS FREE!!!!!!!!!! I FELT SHE HAD FIRST CLASS BETTER CARE THEN ANYTHING I EVER WOULD HAVE GOTTON OVER HERE. YES IT HAS ITS THOUGHTS. BUT NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE TO LOSE A HOUSE OVER A SICK KID OR PARENT. IT HAPPENS OVER HERE, IT HAS HAPPENED TO US. HOW MANY READING THIS CAN SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT!!! YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE SYSTEM OVERSEAS AND DONT WORRY I DONT SEE IT EVERY COMMING OVER HERE. BUT IF I GOT TO CHOOSE BEWEEN THE TWO. I KNOW WHAT I WOULD CHOOSE. WHAT GOOD IS GOOD MEDICAL CARE TO PEOPLE WHO CANT AFFORD IT, I SAW A WOMEM OF 32 BLEED TO DEATH IN A HOSPITAL ONCE WHEN I WORKED THERE. ALL BECAUSE SHE DIDNT HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE AND SHE HAD STEP B AND WAS PG. SHE PUT OFF GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TOO LONG. SHE BLED TO DEATH RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AS HER BLOOD STOPPED CLOTTING.
WHAT A WONDERFUL HEALTH CARE WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
