I think it costs nearly 1000 a month now, and it really isn't very good insurance. <BR/><BR/>The plan we have now has gone up $200 a month since we switched two years ago.<BR/><BR/>It's crazy. <BR/><BR/>Instead of people voting based on abortion and same sex marriage, I wish they'd vote based on affordable health care. <BR/><BR/>(not that everyone is a one-issue voter- but it seems like those two issues are often deal-makers to people I've talked to)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784160644947020521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426822.post-36518188358258609192007-06-01T15:43:00.000-06:002007-06-01T15:43:00.000-06:00Barack and Hillary both have solutions Tyler.

Because of our greed, money politics and your R party we have a very busted system. <BR/><BR/>Will you watch 'Sicko' when Michael Moore debuts it here? I saw a promo. A working man goes to the hospital who has injured his hand at home, cut off two fingers with his table saw. The hospital says $60K for attaching the middle finger, $12K for the 3rd finger so he opts for that. Maybe he should have mailed the middle finger to Newt G or Tom Delay, maybe even W. <BR/><BR/>We need universal health care for all of us.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112174152213184594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426822.post-75286464804794389302007-06-01T08:06:00.000-06:002007-06-01T08:06:00.000-06:00Perhaps a mere relevant question is why are 20 peo...Perhaps a mere relevant question is why are 20 people a day turned away at the Midtown Clinic? And why to fully employed but still impoverished people have one of three choices for health care when they have a child burning up with fever and respiratory distress: 1- Go to the emergency room (we all pay for it.) 2- Go three hours before it opens to a free clinic run by kind medical people who donate their time, and wait for maybe that many more hours. This happens every Wednesday afternoon at a clinic in Layton where a lot of uninsured people go. 3- Make some chicken soup and hope that the disease runs its course soon.<BR/><BR/>I know from experience that providing health insurance in a small company is getting extremely expensive, and even people making $15 or more a hour cannot afford it. Universal medical care is another problem that needs to be addressed, and would be a much more sane place to put our tax dollars than that abominable war that Bush is spending them on.wordsfromhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201989298085513727noreply@blogger.com
