A bullets cheaper than the 100 bucks! It would be cheaper than sending the presidents! All of them on a date night to a broadway show, Thats only 8 hours worth of life for 20 plus grand! Or to a place in florida to read a book to children on 9-11!
Commonsense must prevail! This is not about he did that so I can! Its about real people! Government hasnt done a damn thing about real people!! Enforce the laws and protect the laws is the only thing the feds need to do and not interfer into states business!~ If you want that coverage move to orgeon. We dont need your trees else where. We can build houses with out wood!
Here it is, folks – a picture of what national healthcare will look like! This story is just in Oregon. Wait until it goes national! Stand up and take back our country now or we will all lose it!
Obama care would be worse than this. You can bet on it.
My friend lives in Britain and she said due to rationing on healthcare and prental care most women hire a midwife and dula for home birthing.
She said more women were having their babies at home than ever before. They simply don’t have room for this type of medical procedure, especially since it’s not an illness. I’m all for natural childbirth if the woman wants it but it’s scary when you think you have to without any pain medication if the pain becomes unbearable(the way it did with me) The elderly run the risk of death panels and the young mom’s run the risk of having to have their babies at home. No happy middle, no happy nothing.
This isn’t even the worst of what’s going on in Oregon…………

Get a grip, folks! First of all, no one is denying this woman her chemo. The worst case scenario is that she will have to pay for it herself.
And before you got off frothing at the mouth about how this is what Obamacare would be like, consider this. How many insurance companies would pay for this drug? It sounds like a new, “experimental” drug and, as such, would not be covered in most, if not all, plans. So if Grandma had one of your precious private health policies that you love so much, she still wouldn’t have access to this treatment unless she paid for it.
Oooops!
The drug is approved, but because the good old USA charges a mother-load for drugs, people cannot afford them, which goes back to the reason why we need more health coverage for people and to revisit the Pharmaceutical agreements we have, to lower the costs, why does America pay for all the research, all the production, when other countries do not even touch what we spend on drugs. The plan this woman is on is called medicaid which has 53 million members and spending over $300 billion of federal and state government spending. She is unfortunately on one of the most broken health systems around besides Medicare who is number 1. If you may recall in California, “The Governator” just made major cutbacks to medicaid/medi-cal that will put many people with major mental health problems SOL. So before you are so quick to think that Obama is modeling his new system after a current disaster, you are mistaken. He gets letters everyday about people who are denied care and he wants to fix it! One way to do this to to do an “Extreme Makeover” on Medicare/Medi-cal/Medicaid, which is included in his bill. The reason these systems are broken, is because no one pays except state and federal, if we had affordable plans for mostly everyone, there would be money coming in and they would not go belly up!
Actually this lady’s story is already happening everyday when an insurance company denies coverage for anyone with a pre-existing condition. You better hope you do not have cancer when you lose your job and hence your medical benefits and have to go out looking for new health insurance from a private insurer. This has been the case for YEARS, which is exactly why our healthcare system needs to be overhauled and taken out of the hands of unregulated private insurance companies.
It won’t be long before BHO’s brown shirts will start building the gas ovens for the old folks. You voted him in and you can suffer for it.
Finally, a good post about this subject! I can not believe I had to go thru like 20 blogs just to come across this excellent post. All their content together still can not equal the content of this article. I have learned a lot and will bookmark your web page. Maintain up the good job!
I like the structure of the posts. Basic and straight to the point. I bet you are able to even do better. Write a lengthy article and show us what you are able to do. I have no doubt you’ll create even better information. I have subscribed to a lot of blogs but this one is really a keeper!

Wake up, people and check-out this scene from the 1973 movie Soylent Green:

The way ‘Sol goes home’ seems even more likely now than it did back in 1973….and it says EVERYTHING you need to know about 0 – B – A – M – A – C – A – R – E!
I do my part and eat an-apple-a-day, but that’s not enough to keep Dr. 0bama away! And I haven’t picked my favorite color or favorite music yet….HAVE YOU???
