Utahns commit to health-care reform
12 comments | Read story
With Healthcare Insurance and one colonoscopy, multiple bills arrive from IHC. There are large bills but also smaller bills from other doctors that supposedly took part in it and bill individually?
The stress of how to figure out the mess. What did they do? Were they really needed?
The current healthcare system is destroying us financially as well as physically.
How does ones health recover after the double edged sword of bills as well.
Then think of Central Utah Clinic (Think its called something else now) and being described antidepressants just because the Doctor does not want to refer the patient for additional allergy tests (the Doctor gets a kickback from each patient that gets a prescription for it). Later after going out on my own to a specialist, an allergy test shows the real problem. The Doctor is mad that the antidepressants are no longer being taken (Money).
Another Doctor Office in Orem and the patients are put on hold while the Doctor listens to the sales pitch of the pharmacuetical vendor. Later the Doctor tells take this medicine even though it has nothing to do with the problem (Same medicine as the pharmacuetical vendor).
Anyone who favors the Obama plan and socialized health care will be in for a big surprise when all this plan does is ruin health care in america.
I Urge everyone to call their congressmen and tell them to vote against this legislation and its bogus claims. It will do nothing but bankrupt citizens and the government and the economy.
Still no one knows what this plan is and any detailed information and to blindly vote for it. This health care reform must be one of the biggest scams ever pulled over on a nation of people who are blindly willing to surrender their rights and freedoms.
These were quotes from the Bush Administration, not the Obama administration. Get your presidents straight.
The Obama administration welcomes debate from all sides, encourages ideas and is open to anything that will work. At the same time, our current president is being assaulted daily by ultra-right wingers in all media forums, staged town hall anger, and even being called a lier in congress. The one that I cannot believe is being told he hates his mother and grandparents that raised him, unbelievable!
Yes, there are bullies, you just missed the mark.
The pharmaceutical vendor story is rhetoric. Physicians don't get kickbacks from prescribing medications.
You people are clueless. Allowing the government to control healthcare will not improve care, but will worsen care. More people will die because of costs controls and cutbacks than would die from not having care. See what is happening in Canada and Britain.
There needs to be insurance reform or regulation, not governmental takeover. Governmental takeover will lessen the care that is available and care will have to be rationed. So people may die while waiting for certain high cost procedures to be performed.
Wake up all of you and stop burying your head in the sand.
BHO welcomes debate??? Give me a break! He only welcomes debate that agrees with him. Ask conservative in congress. Look at his reaction to FOX News just because they dare disagree with him. He was happy with the insurance industry until they started disagreeing with him and now he makes them out to be greedy and mean. Ask the US Chamber of Commerce....how dare they disagree with him. Welcomes Debate? Give me a break!
Then Bullies says that we have a president who mocks opposition (I believe the opposite to be true) and that he brands them as complainers, ignoramus , liar, whiner, racist and/many other negative names. I'd like "Bullies" to please point us to a cite or website that shows he has said these words. From what I recall, it was Glenn Beck who called Obama a racist.
Then we've got To OFA and Anonymous, who is apparently the biggest "expert" of us all and know exactly what this plan will do. And please don't tell us the pharmaceutical vendor story is rhetoric, when I watch 4-6 reps come talk to my doctor every time I have an appointment. No wonder I'm there no less than an hour.
Most Canadians loved the idea of their health care system when it started. Now most think it is garbage.
You talk about people dying from being uninsured. If this passes, you will be talking about just as many or maybe more insured people dying while waiting for care.
So we can logically deduce that 2,536,424 are AGAINSTS OFA. That's over 92% !!!!
