Our family is on my wife’s medical plan. She just switched jobs as her old one was VERY tied to Chrysler...
We have 2 kids entering middle school this year and so they need vaccinations. We went to county services on the day before her old plan expired. (the new one won’t start for a while) We were advised by the folks there that we could reduce OUR cost for these by simply waiting a few days for our insurance to expire. Shots would have been $50. a piece will only cost us $15. next week.
Gee, I NEEEEEEEEEED the govermnent to overhaul our medical system!!! yeah, right...
Those who don’t have medical care/health insurance by no choice of their own are WELL taken care of. I don’t buy the line “they just DON’T sign up...” either.
When our ‘poor’ people in this country hear of a program that gives them FREE anything, they show initiative that would propel them above all their co-workers -if they got jobs.
In this country, it pays to not work.
As exemplified by those who ‘work’ as congressman and senators.
