OBUMMA What a DumbA$$. He is raping and pillaging the American Public.

Sioux, try looking up the manufacturer of your meds. A lot of them offer discounts for their medications. Of course you have to make next to nothing and can't have insurance but it's worth looking into, which you may have already done but I thought I would throw it out there. You might also ask your doctor if he/she has coupons or samples. The drug manufacturers give them free samples and coupons all the time. Again, worth asking. I hope your situation improves.

Pilatus I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU AND I AGREE WITH WHAT A LOT OF YOU HAVE SAID OBAMA IS NOT HELPING THE WORKING CLASS AT ALL JUST MAKING THEM PAY MORE TAXES AND THE RICH PEOPLE HAS WORKED TO GET THERE I AM FAR FROM RICH AS WE HAVE ONE PAYCHECK COMMING IN AND IT TAKES THAT TO PAY THE BILLS AND RENT I AM UNABLE TO WORK AND CAN'T GET ANY HELP TO GET MY HEART AND SUGAR MEDS AND MY OTHER MEDS BUT ONES WHO ARE ON WELFARE AND ABLE TO WORK ARE TO LAZY I WISH I COULD WORK BUT DUE TO A LOT OF HEALTH PROBLEMS I CAN'T I HAVE BEEN DENINED SSI DISABLITY IT IS IN APEAL RIGHT NOW

sueq0321, the insurance companies negotiate the discounts with providers for the members/consumers. This helps to keep your premium low. I know the premiums are not low but imagine how much higher they would be if the insurance company paid the provider the entire amount they are charging. If I go in for surgery, see an in network provider and they are charging $15,000 for the procedure I would much rather pay the discounted amount than the entire charge. I am not defending either, our healthcare system is not perfect but it beats nationalized/socialized healthcare hands down.

I completely agree with sueq0321. Its real nice to keep paying a medical bill, while paying for insurance that has bumped up the premium because of surgury. While most of the rednecks out here just walk into a hospital with out-turned pockets and never have to pay for it. Real Fair

no frix, just a bunch of bs.

Find the other health care threads. There is one where (so far) only the 'RONS have posted!

KING obama is going to what?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ABC sucks and so does obama!!

What I don't get is why all the drs. and hospitals and med centers give such ridiculous discounts to the insurance companys. I pay for insurance,have a copay,and pay out of pocket but no one gives me a discount for choosing there facilities.The insurance hardly has to pay anything and I get the rest of the bill while they get their discount.Where is the fairness that I keep paying? Give me a discount for choosing your place to use.

I will NEVER watch ABC again! They are following this arrogant president like he is going to save the world! I LOVE my health care and I EARN it by working 5 - 7 days a week. I don't have a problem so BLOWBAMA better not make other people's problems a burden for US CITIZENS that DO pay tax! The whole government with the exception of the military, worries about EVERYBODY but the Working American Citizens! They DO NOT work for us any more! Do they not realize that the Working American Citizens ARE the very FOUNDATION of this country! Without us they will fall. I have a good feeling that the day is coming when people WILL revolt. I am not a violent person but I WILL NOT ley ANYONE destroy The Constitution! If I were president, the Working American Citizens would be taken care of first! This includes people that are retired and have paid their dues already. I would not tax the heck out of american companies and industries either. They would be rewarded for keeping people working and producing good products! Farmers would be helped too as we MUST eat and America has the BEST farmers and food in the world! All illegal immigrants...INSTANT deportation! I don't mind payig 2.00 for a head of lettuce! The money this would save us on healthcare would offset the slight increase in produce easily! Next....Certain LAZY people abusing/draining the welfare system!! No MORE!! And, while some people do need it, you SHALL be drug tested just like WORKING people have to! you fail and no more food stamps for you! And, TERM LIM ITS for ALL government!! no more lifetime CROOKS running/ruining MY country!! Also, to be elected, you MUST have worked in the private sector so you will know what it is like in the REAL world! Sorry if I got off base but I'm pretty mad at the scum in DC !!
