Any body that thinks that Medicaid will pay for what you cant afford is dead wrong,
they have never had to deal with the issue, they may take you into a emergency clinic but will releases you as soon as possible with out properer care.And then they try to collect form you or make you penniless until you lose your home and cant work because you will be to sick to work.
Please read before attacking me.
I am a self employed individual and money is not the problem in paying for it.
My home is paid for, all my cars are paid for, I have no kids living at home.
I do not smoke, or drink. I exercise six days a week for at least 2 hours and I have
Never been a hospital with a major illness. I have never broke a bone,
I am a diabetic due to a inherited gene from my dad which is 84 years old.
I do not take insulin, but do take pills and eat right, so my diabetics are under control.
I have been turned down my at least six insurance companies because of the diabetes.
And finally I was told by three different agents- Quote (No insurance comp. in USA will accept me due to my diabetic
unless I work for a company that offers it. Money is not the issue.)
I have since found out millions are in same boat.
IN THE USA TODAY.
If you lose your job and cannot pay for Insurance or for your medicine,you will die if you get sick.
Whether you are a Young person, middle age, or elderly .
IN THE USA TODAY you will die.
They will not pay your medical bills. YOU WILL DIE
If we don’t change health care now, then when?
Hi there.
I don’t believe you. Here’s why.
I have celiac disease, endometriosis, and chronic kidney problems. I have never been turned down for insurance. There is usually a waiting period to cover the pre-existing condition and thats it.
I finished college and became a cardiovascular technologist. I know that any ER won’t turn you away and most hospitals provide the best care they can no matter how you pay. No hospital that receives federal funding an turn someone away. So the only way a person will die is if they don’t get to the ER in time.
Diabetes runs in my family. My aunt has it. My uncle is a self employed contractor. She has insurance.
I’m very sorry you have had so much trouble, but you are not correct.
Now, if you want to fix the healthcare system, i’ll tell you how right now.
Get rid of the illegals who are mooching off the system. For the citizens who get on disability early on, there needs to be a more guidelines to follow on who gets it and for how long. More focus needs to be on preventative care. And finally, people shouldn’t be allowed to get more and more government aid because they have baby after baby. There should be a limit.
The healthcare system we have would work fine if people didn’t take advantage. But instead, we are being pushed into reform that-no matter what Obama says-will have to raise taxes on someone. Chances are, that someone will be the middle class. And if you haven’t read the healthcare bill, you should. Parts of it are downright scary.
Good luck

Down the road, the government won’t have the money to pay for medicare and medicaid as it is. When we have more people drawing it out than paying it in we will be in big trouble. The population bust of the 70s is coming back to bite us.
The only answer is to ween ourselves off of our dependence on government.

I was forced to get on medicaid because tumors were found in my Lungs though they have stopped growing I was diagnosed with cancer . . Paid all those dollars into the Medical Health INS to Make them rich I guess .

I work in a Hospital in Texas. No one is ever turned away because they are uninsured and can’t pay.
People are not left to die in the parking lots of America’s hospitals!

Medicaid is run by the government so why do people think another government medical program will be better?
I have had to go without insurance before and I have severe asthma. However, I still had choices. I wrote to the drug manufacturers and was able to get free asthma medication for a year. I also went to the county hospital and signed up with their plan and received medical care through one of their doctors.
We have Chips and Medicaid for kids.
Obama’s plan will not help people like they think it will.
I liked Mcain’s plan with the vouchers.

This is something the individual does for him or herself. It is NOT the responsibility of Obama, Congress, or ACORN.

The republicans will tell you it is the survival of the fittest. They are scared to death to embrace change period.
