Ted Kelly FB healthcare poll says alot about why we can't seem to get things right in politics. Learning the difference between a poll and a scientific poll is a good start people. Has no one thought about this? The poll indicates that a certain percent of Facebook users that are interested in taking polls and know how to use their keyboard and don't mind their friends seeing the results think they don't want GOV healthcare...

New report: Individual health insurance market failing consumers
73 percent who tried to buy insurance on their own did not purchase a plan; half of adults with individual coverage have out-of pocket and premium costs that equal 10 percent or more of income

New report: Individual health insurance market failing consumers: "New York, NY, July 21, 2009—The individual health insurance market is not a viable option for the majority of uninsured adults, a new report from The Commonwealth Fund finds. Seventy-three percent of people who tried to buy insurance on their own in the last three years did not purchase a policy, primarily because premiums were too high. In addition, among adults with individual coverage or who tried to buy coverage in the past three years, 57 percent said it was very difficult or impossible to find coverage they could afford, 47 percent said it was very difficult or impossible to find a plan with the coverage they needed, and 36 percent were denied coverage or charged more because of a pre-existing condition, or had the condition excluded from their coverage." ...

Think that you are safe from high medical bills in the event of a catastrophe because you have health insurance?

You are NOT!
A report, released in February says otherwise:

Judgement

A Conservative is a man that outwardly has no faults. A liberal sees the faults under the facade and accepts them.

Argh!!!

...and by the way...
I don't want to hear another word about how Liberals and Progressives have the nation's worst interest at heart and are destroying America. I am a descendant of the first settlers that you learned about in school, (yes, Plymouth was their Ellis Island). As well, I am a cousin of former presidents Bush, Kennedy, and Harrison. I am one of this country's most vehement passionates.... and I am a Progressive Liberal. What gives you the right to say that you know better than I, or the son of your hero Ronald Reagan? Stick that in your Socialism-Fearing craw and smoke it with a blowtorch!

Control of Healthcare

Lately, the argument from the right is: "Who do you want in control of your healthcare? The Government?"

Well, here is the alternative. Right now, HMO's are in control of our health care.

If Obama gets his way, Doctors would be in control of our health care.

In 4 years, if the Right wins the Presidential Election, Haliburton will be in control of our health care.
