I agree with that...
except I thought(could very well be wrong) that it was a culmination of hillarycare and Romney care.
the whole Obama care thing is the biggest thing to come of the last 20 years that really needs to end.
I do 6 presentations a year to medical staff and with the Louisiana Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Association.
everywhere I go and every care giver I speak to, tells me how terrible it is first hand.
ive seen doctors leaving their practice to work in drug r&d or the legal fields because they cant keep up their lifestyle due to loss of income or increased work. Most tell me they wish they went into nursing instead.
I'm not saying the guy is terrible, I'm saying climbing up the hill and fighting everyone every step of the way is going to result in nothing getting done.
its like going into your inlaws house, telling your mother in law she is a bitch, your father in law he is an asshole and then demanding a sandwich.
(bad example, but hopefully you get the point I'm making)
Killary care was penned in 94, it took a group of scary mofos to tell her to chill the fuck out or they would kill her to get it put on the back burner.
But they put it to work in the VA system. (BTW Nixon did the exact same thing in the 70s to the VA adopting the HMO model at the expense of Vets) But it took piglosi pushing that bloated damaging bullshit with the "pass it to see whats in it" and every single one of those motherfuckers that voted a pass it without reading it should be tried for treason and motherfucking shot.
I pray Cali has had enough of the bullshit fineswine, piglosi, and that horrible cunt boxer has fucked over the American people with. [/QUOTE]
those two are the devil... luckily LA tried keeping healthcare private as long as they could.
you will probably get what I am trying to convey here.
with healthcare:
here is my experience..
I got hurt 6 years ago last month.
When I got hurt, I had a platinum plan from blue cross blue shield. The total bill for Trauma care and recovery came to 1.71 million dollars. The total for PT came to 876k, the total for post op and initial equipment was 80k. Most of that equipment was a fancy chair that lets me stand up.
That was all before Obama care kicked in and my private plan, paid every dime no questions asked.
If that were to happen today, I would have been screwed and possibly denied one of the things they had to do to keep me ticking(maybe its not so bad after-all...lol) . additionally, some of the procedures done post Trauma I never would have been able to get done. One of those procedures lead to a huge improvement in my own quality of life.
I have seen several patients since it kicked in, fighting just for daily living aids that, they ordinarily wouldn't have to. I've seen doctors and Therapists, have to rewrite plans and scripts, just for a patient to be able to get catheters for patients.
The difference in healthcare provided before and after that law, is stark. The actual care provided took a hit, and the style. My neurologist is on the board at the hospital, and the paperwork alone is.
all that said, I have a vested interest in seeing the damn thing go away. Sadly, some of the "advocacy" centers for the disabled community (at least the ones I have dealt with) have spent money and time, trying to figure out a way to navigate the fucking thing.
he still needs those folks! Whether you like it or not!!
