Prrescription costs-RIPOFF

[mystreba]

Yes, the compromise health care law sucks. KennyV had it right about single payer - like Canada. Except that there are better ways to do multi-payer - look at Germany, Japan. Their private health insurance companies operate as not-for-profit entities, their doctors are all private, and the government covers anyone out of work.

But you'll have a hard time getting any sensible approach to healthcare passed in a country where corporations are so important we have to recognize them as people, and bail them out when they screw up!

I'm all for tort reform. Make it happen. But remember that tort has a very useful function in protecting us small guys from fat-cat negligence.

Also, don't spend any time laboring under the misconception that tort reform will solve any of the major problems we have with healthcare - like skyrocketing costs and millions of Americans with no healthcare.

In 2002 I was diagnosed with Stage 4, Terminal, Lung, Throat, and Brain Cancer. Docs said I had at the most six months to live. God said I had 120 years (Genesis 6:3). It's been nine years now, and I am cancer-free. The Docs said I would never be able to talk again. In 2005 I delieved a very spicy sermon from behind the pulpit on of a medium size church, with no microphone! I was told that I would suffer memory loss and such because of the radiation used to kill the unshelled peanut size tumor in my brain. Today I have no more memory problems than any other old man.
As Jesus was being taken to the spot he was beat with Roman cat-o-nine-tail whips putting raw bloody gashes across his back. God said in 1st Peter 2:24 that by His stripes I was (already) healed.
The medical expenses, drugs and all were around Three-Hundred-Fifty-Thousand Dollars. But, I have a Heaven Father who in fact, owns this planet we live on, all the cattle on thousands of hill, all the silver and all the gold. HE said he would meet all my needs according to HIS riches. And he has done so.

You are a FUNNY guy... twall...
But alas you are also right. If you have no insurance coverage you are going to be out of luck... and too many are in that exact situation, for various reasons.
The real problem is the general apathy most folks have about UN-insured until it happens to them or someone close to them... Then they realize it can happen to anyone... It is truly a miserable health care system we are all enjoying... :smile:KennyV

I wish he would too. Hey, is it possible for your son to get treatment through the VA if he becomes a dependent enrolled in school full-time (say, community college or some online program)?

[KennyV]

funny how a criminal that gets shot ... gets to have his hosp.bill paid for by the good citizens of Topeka ...

But that is a rather unhandy way to get free health care...
Not to mention not getting much choice of rehab programs....

The shop owner needs to spend a little more time at the range... :smile:KennyV

I been taking a drug for high blood pressure.My insurance covers it except the co pay.If I buy generic It cost me $5.00 a month. But I cannot take the Generic (causes worse problems) so I have to take the "Brand" that cost me a co pay of $35.00 a month.for 30 pills, Now I have been ordering 100 of the BRAND from Canada for a total of $68.00. with no insurance and it includes shipping. Yes they are REAL and it is LEGAL to purchase for personal use and they do require a prescription. I have been getting them now for several years. (the generic ones are made in India)
