[tri-med] Re: US Health Plan

I thought the choices were what this bill was about.  I understood it to be 
that the govt would offer a good affordable policy to those who could not get 
insurance but leave the rest alone.  And yes, it seems like they could fix most 
of the problems in about 3 pages--lol. 
Also, the pre-existing limits are getting really rediculous.  I know someone 
who had to go into the Texas State pool (high risk) because he had cateract 
surgery (totally recovered) and moderately high cholesterol (still under 200) - 
so he was grouped with someone who had a re-occuring cancer (for example) - 
that came from one of the country's largest health insurance companies who he 
had had coverage with for over ten years but no longer qualified for group 
insurance.

Why can't America just fix what is broken.  If Gary wants the gov't
insurance, he should have it.
I don't see why we need the entire nation overhauled when some of it
actually works and is liked, even if it is Big Private Insuance.

Let's fix the "pre-existing conditions" policies.. do we need 1000+ page
bill to do it?

Like Jayne, we like freedom to choose - is that wrong? Even Gary said, tho
page 16 doesn't state there would be no private insurance offered, he did
suggest it would eventually result in it's demise.  Again, I like having
options... that is why America is great!

Does governemnt think healthcare for those who don't have it and keeping
private healthcare for those who don't mind paying - are mutually
exclusive?  I think they can all work... and I know I'm no smarther than
those guys on the 'hill'.

I'm all for people getting health insurance for a reduced rate if they can't
get it through their employer without their premiums going sky high.  I also
think you shouldn't be turned down for a pre-existing condition and that you
should be able to shop around (from state to state).  There are things we
can do to lower the cost of health insurance.  I just don't want to risk
losing my freedom to choose and that's what I see in other countries.

If the health insurance plan is so good, our legislators should be the first
ones to sign up.
