Healthcare 101

The healthcare system is broken, and a lot is going on in Washington to fix it, or is it? According to what is happening now, we need to pay close attention to it. If things stay or change according to Congress (House and Senate) with what they propose now, we will be paying higher premiums until 2013 or 2014. That’s when all of this goes into effect. What happens in the meantime or even if it passes? Can we afford that? I know I can’t. Yes there will be coverage for all, but at a price. If you are below the poverty level you can get Medicaid, but what about people that are just barley above it by a few dollar’s (e.g. my husband and I)? We will have to pay higher premiums until 2013. That’s not right, what the heck, can we just all get healthcare without the government, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and hordes of people robbing us out of every dime? Did you know that we the taxpayers pay for the politicians’ great healthcare coverage? Did you know that the Republicans don’t want healthcare changed because they don’t want their wonderful healthcare shared by others? People we need to wake up and pay attention to what is happening with our government.
