I was thinking about my rant last night, and it's just too bad that we have to have Health Insurance at all. The cost's of Medical Care are too high to pay out-of-pocket, as people used to do several decades ago.

The high cost of Medical Care is going to lead to a National Health Plan...and that will make it impossible to get GOOD care on top of the present high costs!

It's a tragedy that we are forced to pay such high premiums for little in return. Yet, the die has been cast. At this point what can a consumer do about it?

Illegals would be able to pay for their own care, if the ER and other services weren't so darn expensive! I used to work in a Hospital Billing department, and the bills were padded with costs like $3 for an Asprin, because the Insurance Co.s have contracts that they will only be billed a percentage of the total cost. A $30,000 stay in the hosptial would be contracted at only 60% of the cost! But Cash patients would be billed for the whole thing!

Illegals shouldn't be here in the first place, much less steal our money through the government. But I blame our federal and local governments for stealing from the people who give the reps. the power to do what they do.

Most of our local and federal representatives have failed us on this issue of medical care.
