Health Care

Anyone have any studies that compare vet med costs to civilian?

Also, as far as I understand that proposal was only to cover non-service related injuries which would be comparable to the rest of society. Any service related injuries would still be covered under the VA plan as it always has.

Are you serious? Theres probably no study of which will leave a bigger hole, a BB gun or a 50 Cal, but common sense will give you an accurate answer.

Top Ten Myths of American Health Care: A Citizen’s Guide, Sally Pipes dissects
the ten widely promulgated myths that will enable the U.S. federal government
to control your medical care. The threat posed by these myths is real as the U.S.
Congress continuously acts, in small, clandestine, and dangerous ways to enable
the government to take your money to control your health care system.

Just one problem with Ms. PIPES book.
I can't seem to find the chapter that says....what to do about the "blood sucking" Insurances company's, who sell you a policy, then do EVERYTHING they can do.................NOT to PAY.

AND,

If all else fails, just claim ...."it's a Pre-existing condition" !!!!!

And you think the Gov't will do hand springs passing out all types of service?

Private Ins. drags their feet denying payment while Gov't will deny treatment to hold down costs.

Or haven't you figured that out yet?

You do realize the best way to keep Boomer's SSI and Medicare costs in check is to deny treatment and let them die off.

Or haven't you figured that out yet?
 
Well dell(ol' buddy), it's like this.

Everything about your posts seem to be pretty negative. This is another example. Now it is Insurance Companies you rail against. Is there not one thing in this great country that you do not like??

I am NOT saying that the point you mention has not happened, I'm sure, and I know it has. However, in MOST ALL instances. the system works when one plays by the rules. Case in point; me. Several years back, was in a freak car accident, freak because of the circumstances. (go have your fun with my choice of word), one call to my Ins Co, instantaneously.....done! First check for 10,000 for med bills(not paid directly to me btw). following that, everything my Ins was supposed to pay.... other med/hospital bills/rehab....paid in full with no problemo. My work short/long term disability(that I had to contribute handsomely to I may add)......check in the mail after missing 4 months of work(1 check only, I should add).....done, albeit after the paperwork, read, red tape, which IS a problem.

The problem most ALWAYS stems from the fact of fraud.....period. People abuse the system, the insurer tightens their belts, hence, the rules. Look at work comp rules, insurance....HELLO??. Where I used to work, it was abused to the hilt by several. The sleel mills that used to be here, "The Burgh" :up: ,workers abused it to the "Nth" degree.

For the people who have had problems, as I stated before, I'm sure there are many, it is disheartening.

Crush the abuse, and maybe the system could be reformed in a sensible, plausible way
 
NO WAY...dell, I listen openly to "BIMBO", and Savage.

Hannity is the BIGGEST Limbaugh A$$ KISSER, and El-Rusbo WANNBE, which is why I refuse to listen to him.

I have a system.
Think of it as you being the coach of your team, and having a chance to grab hold of the oppositions Playbook.

That is why I listen to BIMBO/Savage and read the MOST CONSERVATIVE newspaper in america, (my very own/next door..Manchester New HAMP---SHAAAAAA Union Leader). They are like a GOOD WORKOUT to keep me sharp(kinda like "jousting" will YOU my good cyber friend..dell)

Back to "BIMBO/savage"
They "stay on" my radio, until they make an ENORMOUS assine statement,...........then they get the OFF switch !!!!
In BIMBO's case , he can RARELY go 30 minutes, before he get's "WHACKED".
Now with savage(Who NEVER had a problem correctly Identifying W, as a MORON), well I've been able to tolerate him for a whole hour.

Established research shows that a public health plan will â€￾crowd outâ€￾ private insurance, forcing millions of Americans off their current plans, and away from their family doctors.
