I have a friend in Massachusetts with whom I argue the Nationalized Medicine issue. She was pretty Conservative until her health care plan dropped her when she was diagnosed with a polyp in her colon (before Romneycare). Now she wants Nationalized Medicine because Massachusetts can’t afford their plan alone. I pointed out to her that doing that would require people in other states to carry Mass. health care costs and what do those other states do with their own skyrocketing costs if they are carrying Massachusetts? I said I thought it should be a States rights issue. Any State wanting a Socialized Medical system is welcome to change to it. Then if people don’t want to live with Socialized Medicine they can move to another state. She was speechless.
As an aside, if the Ark. Gov. is doing this, you can bet Obama will cook the books to make it look successful. That is the only way Obama can achieve ANY success with ANY of his ideas. Cheating.
Cheating was the only way he could get elected.
Your friend wasn’t “pretty conservative”
A friend went to the doctor recently. She has no insurance, but she was feeling so ill she thought she would die. She was sent to hospital for blood tests, ultrasound. She told them she had no insurance, expecting to be run out of there like a stray dog. Instead they told her if she could pay cash (in 30 days) there would be a 55% discount, 45% if paid in 90 days. 55% !!!. Less than $250 for all this. I have insurance with copay of $300, and would still be billed above and beyond co pay. I was shocked to hear this. This happened in NW Arkansas this week! My point ? Why so much for those with insurance ? It will only get worse w/ Obamacare. and AR has enough problems without being a guinea pig. Oh i just can’t wait (sarcasm)
“Now she wants Nationalized Medicine because Massachusetts can’t afford their plan alone.”
The wonders of magical thinking. LOL!
Yes, and the American people can’t figure out he is cheating either.
