ok
im still rooting for hillary
in the issues that concern me
i still think she's the strongest candidate
notably health insurance is on my mind a whole hell of a lot lately
i had oxford
with out warning or explanation they went from a 1,000 deductible to a 2,000 deductible from 795 a month to 891
and that was with the whopping discount i got from being part of a group
no health insurance for those who dont get benefits at work
royally sucks
so i switched to an HMO which i hate
because i want to be able to go in out of network
my group went with empire blue cross blue sheild
so for 700 a month i lose the freedom
to go to any doctor i want
but no deductible
i just started looking thru the book of all the red tape
and the exclusions seems to be longer then the inclusions
half my friends dont even have health insurance
one of my very closest friends pays over a grand a month for his insurance
and they seem to deny just about everything he needs
so he winds up paying out of pocket
it seems its like michael moore says
we'd all be better off taking a fast trip to Cuba
if things get shaky
listen call it socialism if you want to
but this country needs universal health insurance
maybe the poorest can get this thru welfare
and the richest thru cold hard cash
but the middle class
we're just
well stuck in the middle
and it ain't fun here
when and if you get sick
you can go from middle class to poor
real quick
i look around at the homeless people in my hood
and wonder
how many of these poor souls
got this way because they simply got sick
and couldn't afford treatment
lost their jobs
lost their homes
its a sad story
and we are supposed to be the most developed country in the world
aren't we
doesnt feel like it
if Obama gets elected
i will support him
because he's a democrat
he wants change
and i dont have anything against him
except for his lack of experience
but i do think
for my health
id feel more comfortable with hillary in the white house
as to mccain
well he's the least offensive of the republicans
but i think he'll be spending all our health insurance money
on staying in the war
what do you think
