I must say if I was in the US I would be pro-obamacare. Having grown up in a country where everyone can access healthcare at any time is a rather wonderful thing and I would support anything that widens access to healthcare. The NHS has many flaws, but as my parents get older and develop various health conditions, I'm grateful that they can access the medication and assistance that they need without worrying about how we would pay for it. It's true what you say about car insurance - you can choose not to drive a car. But that doesn't apply to healthcare in the same way - you can't just choose not to need healthcare. Even if you are fortunate enough to start out with good genes and you try to live a healthy life, you could still be involved in an accident and need help.

Hi Caspin. I have two stories I hope to get posted this weekend. One is called "Magic Mutt", the other
"The Ghouls in the Graveyard". They are both spooky and one is based on a true story..smile.. You get to find out which one. muaha haa haa!

I like this off topic discussion section, it is a good idea. I just want anyone to know that reads my comments that I am never angry just expressing my opinion. .... smile...

I agree with what you say about Health Care and on paper the idea of socialized medicine in the U.S is great, but in reality Obamacare is overflowing with flaws, injustices and way too much red tape. The system to sign up for Obamcare is not even working, yet, we will still face fines if we are not signed up by March 21,2014.
I have been without health insurance most of my life. But always managed to get to the Dr. if needed.. Now my point is this. "Why punish the people for being unable to afford health insurance? Why not go after the greedy out of control pharmaceutical companies and medical suppliers? They are the ones that drive the cost up so unbearably high. I have more than one health professional as family and or friends. They all point the finger in the same direction. In most cases if the individual states would just raise the income level that allows for state medical most of America would be covered by the state they live in. The state systems are in place and work very well. Such an obvious answer that our over-grown government refuses to acknowledge.
But again, I put the blame of sky high health insurance cost on the pharmaceutical companies and medical suppliers. My oldest daughter has to take medication everyday. Once a month we purchase her needed medication and every month the price is always different and always higher. Much higher. One bottle of pills that cost me $35.00 one month cost $230.00 the next month. That is outrageous! Thank God we were able to find another company that produced the equivalent but even so, the price was still $84.00. I had a discount card that saved me $40.00 so I did manage to get the medication for my daughter but what a hassle.
Obamacare does not help us, the cost for my family to be covered under Obama's so called Affordable Health Care would be $490.00 a month. That is not even close to affordable for us. If we could afford that we would already have private coverage. It is cheaper to pay the $1,500.00 fine that will be forced upon us and taken out of our tax returns. If is not paid, then they will throw me and or my husband in jail. Then who will care for my children? There is nothing good about this plan in my opinion. I pray daily for Obamacare to be defunded.
Well, it has been nice talking to you. I like discussing things and I respect other peoples opinions unless they are different than mine.. Just kidding! Have a great day!!
