Our employer plan costs over 2k/month, typical 80/20, 100 deduct, 1000 dollar outta pocket. It's a Caddy Plan I'm told.

My wife had brain tumor removed this past summer. I have over 300 thousand in medical bills; even though I'm not suppose to be charged for anything over 1000 (outta pocket). Health care is a big scam, all about money, rigged system; and nobody with employer health care has good health care, like 10 years ago.

If our Repubs don't address & solve the problems; it won't go away on it's own with the free market. Anybody who has used their health care for a serious illness knows this.

“My wife had brain tumor removed this past summer. I have over 300 thousand in medical bills”

WOW! My wife is a stroke survivor and so far insurance has held up its end and I’ve had deductibles to pay and that was it for as far as what the plan covered. The one draw back so far has been during times I pull in home care help as that is all out of pocket but luckily we’ve saved well for those times. There does need to be affordable solutions for people with extreme circumstances be it gov program or whatever.

I think what ocare has tried to do is just not sustainable though but at least it has people talking about how to make it better.

I completely agree with your post.

Obamacare is a bit of a gigantic scam, but we had nothing better. Meanwhile America bleeds jobs to China, and our unemployment rate CONTINUES TO RISE.

There are currently 93,000,000 Americans out of work.

“Do nothing” is not a health plan. The GOP needs to step up, and deal with this.

We cannot “do nothing”. We need a plan, which deals with healthcare. For real.

Now.

Or else we need to leave it alone. We cannot simply cast it aside. What we had before it, was every bit as bad.
