Faces of Health Care Reform: Lisa

Car Insurance works the same way... If you're on the freeway and someone sideswipes you, good luck getting a good insurance rate for a long time.. Some car insurance companies will deny you also if you've been in accidents.
She can always go to an ER and they will still take care of her and bill her.. then all she will have to pay for is HER treatment, not some insurance companies private jets...

How dare she criticize insurance companies for denying her a healthcare plan. How are they supposed to make ridicules profits and pay their CEO's millions of dollars if they have to accept some ill people! Insurance is a profit business, why can't she just get sick and die quietly? American capitalism is great and it's people like her who are trying to stop this great American system.
Seriously, how disgusting have American morals become? People who defend them are simply cold heartless shells.

I can't really wrap my head around what Lisa is trying to say. Don't get me wrong, she seems like a very nice woman, but she doesn't even begin to know how much her treatments cost. Water in the brain? Yowch. That's GOT to be expensive, no doubt, but you also don't consider the fact that you will gain much MUCH more financially out of the system than you will have put into it. Of course, that's how insurance works, but it doesn't achieve the same affect if you are already sick when going in.

Where do you get all your information from mbsells77? First you say the UK puts caps of 45k to elderly and children, which I find hard to believe but i'm not from the UK. I am in canada however and theres no mention here about turning to the private sector, thats only a scare tactics use here used by politicians. 45% taxes? for $35k earner? I say its aroudn 20-30% depending if you have dependants, home renovation credit. Lots of factors. So plz get your information with more one source.

perfectly said, Christianity is America is all about money and being forgiven for what you have done that week. That's it.

Huh?

Christianity has nothing to do with PUBLIC PROGRAMS. Try reading The Good Book once in a while.

There's nothing wrong with our medical system. And you Canucks benefit from our 'greedy profit-driven' system every time you get a pill or some sort of medical technology available to you. Those aren't made in the government-run healthcare system, you know. They are developed down here. As well, the treatments this woman gets, aren't available up there.

Questions?

what good book, War and Peace, The Great Gatsby, you cant mean the story book the Bible can you.

FYI im not from Canada, I live in a country that develops lots of drugs, has a health care system just as good as the one that your country offers to your priverliged citizens. When was the last time you went into a hospital outside of America?
Before you spout your lies and rubbish travel some.
Would your god deny someone the treatment they needed to live if they could'nt pay? Most probably

There's only one book so named that's capitalized, so you're either being ignorant or purposely snarky. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the former.

Which brings me to the point of your response. In what other country are the drugs and technologies developed in a socialist economy? During my whole time in Military Intel, I never saw the like anywhere but here. But I guess you would assume folks would just take your word for it since you typed it here.

It ain't so.

well not sure what countries you think in Europe are socialist, apart from France maybe. Just because a country has a national healthcare system dose not make it socialist. But getting to our point about drug companies
Glaxo smithkline, AstraZenaca UK
HoffmannLa Roche, Novartis Switzerland
Bayer, Merk Germany
Just to name a few, all these countries offer a national health services.
just because you heard it from Hannity dose no make it true.
Army intel???????????

True it if cruel for me not to help but what's even worse if for everyone to have to have the same low class "treatments" that can hardly be called treatment. I personally don't want to screw others over just because people DON'T ask for hand outs from their churches from their communities from their family and even from their state, county or government OR other willing companies that will spend money for people to get treatment... now i say that they should fend for themselves *sarcasm!*
