Government run socialist “Health care”,ALWAYS conflated and confused with Health Insurance, is the political lie that keeps on giving to the left.

Conversely, for me, a “plan” outlines steps to disentangle governmental influence over our health care system and revert control back to doctors and patients.

AMEN. A friend’s uncle recently died of cancer. His wife received $70K bill about 20 pages long, from the hospital, out-of-the-blue, of supposed charges not covered by insurance. No one ever mentioned these procedures, why these charges were necessary, possible alternatives, or what the cost would be in advance.

America has created a Frankenstein health system of high regulation, cost-shifting, high legal exposure, and outrageously inflated prices used as a tool for negotiation with medicare and insurance. No other service or product is handled in this way.

this is how the Left is going to convince America that the entire health care system needs to be nationalized.

The unspoken premise is that only government can provide health care plans. We should reject this premise in the strongest possible terms.

I want BACK my private health care plan that Obama/Biden made economically unfeasible.

"It’s not a ‘plan’ because you can’t sign-up for it,"

You can certainly vote for it. But forget the semantics of 'plan', err, the vocabulary. Words have meaning and leftist are not well read enough to know their meaning. They constantly redefine words instead of learning a new word to express themselves. This is a sign of emoting, not thinking. Leftist ideas are distilled to the most rudimentary feelings that they do not require a broad vocabulary to express their thoughts; if they even have thoughts. This situation is so dire that single syllable words no long convey their original meaning, e.g., "is", "plan" and "work".

Thank God that I started my children's adult vocabulary when they were 18-months old and I regularly told them to, "use your words". Now as adults they are literate and articulate. I need not mention that they are conservatives; that goes along with being literate and articulate.

Here is a true story about a drug which goes by sildenafil, the generic name for viagra.

It is very inexpensive to manufacure, about 1 India Rupee, where it retails for 4, roughly 5 cents in US$ for a 20 mg tablet.

In addition to being an effective tratment for that which it is famous, it is also effective in treating neuropathy in the feet. I have it prescribed for exactly that reason, though I will admit that the more common side effect is nice in the bedroom for a guy in his 60s whose performance has gone down just a little from what it used to be.

However, under the existing rules of ObaMaoCare, it is approved as a covered drug only for low blood pressure in the lungs. With all the discounts allowed, my local pharmacy charges me $38 for a lousy 10 capsules. Not a bad price if you are using it to make whoopie once a week, but a crazy expensive price if used to treat neuropathy in the feet once or twice a day.

I have great medical coverage through work at an international company, but the powers that be have declared that this particular drug won't be covered except for an uncommon ailment of low blood pressure in the lungs because neuropathy in the feet is all too common and older men ought to be able to pay a crazy price for it to subsidize other drugs which have less common ingredients and are more expensive to manufacture.

So, naturally, I don't take it as often as I should because it is just too damned expensive. I wonder how many similar examples are hidden in the "one size fits all Obamacare" regulations.
