Posted By TechnologyExpert 5 months ago in Political NewsOn Thursday, Senate Democratic leaders shelved plans for a vote on health care before Congress' August recess.

Good article in the July/August issue of AARP magazine: Myths and Facts of Health Care Reform..You can access this by going to the AARP web site and typing in the title, I think. If AARP is for health care reform, then you can be sure it's not a "Democratic trick to put us all under socialism." If the Bush administration had put the trillions of dollars into health care reform instead of wasting it on an illegal undeclared war in Iraq, we would be far better off than today with our 4,330 Americans dead, and thousands wounded--crippled, blind, maimed for life.

We already have forms of socialism in medicine: Medicare, Medicaid, we have socialism in Farm Subsidies to the agribusiness corporations, the beef, milk, wheat, corn, peanut industries--Bailouts for the banks--trillions for the banks, people! (Goldman-Saxe just made more profit in last quarter than it made in the last 40 years, thanks to a government bailout of billions!) We have had socialism in many forms since the Roosevelt era. Get over it. Not all socialism is bad. Not all capitalism is bad, but too much of either is bad.
I hope some will put aside their prejudices about Dems or Repubs and simply read the AARP article. I had hip replacement last Oct., was in pain day and night, couldn't sleep, couldn't walk--had the government (Medicare) not paid for most of it, I'd still be in great pain in a wheelchair with no hope of an operation. The USA ranks 37th in quality of health care in the civilized world. We are the only western nation that doesn't have universal health care. Please think about that.-

I keep hearing that "America" has the 37th rated health care system in the world..... I get that our infant mortality is lower than it should be, but that's not at all the way to judge a health care delivery system. For one thing, there are ethnic, cultural, and dietary contributions to that ..."A McDonald's on every corner", high populations genetically predisposed to Diabetes, as well as Americans' different approach to food than is seen in most countries.

The way you judge it is to measure how well people do when they are sick. Our Cancer survival rates are far better than any other country on earth, as are our rates of survival and recovery after heart attacks and recovery rates after Strokes.
Stop the unabated America-bashing and learn the facts before you speak.

I am thinking about it.As soon as we can get a bill where every legal citizen is issued a policy,all priced the same.and no exceptions for anyone.When all beds in hospitals are side by side in wards,or everyone is entitled to at least a semi private room no exception.Of course that can't happen,there will be wards with multible beds.Been there,done that.I was eighteen then, I'm seventy five now.Why bother.

Maybe it's good to put off health care for everyone we can save alot of lives and heart aches for the ones that would of either died from hospital mistakes or would of had more medical problems to live with that they didn't have before. I heard the number one killer in America was health care. Be careful of the medication you take and make sure your surgery is really needed and weigh in all your options. And above all ask your doctor that if anything would go wrong in surgery or anything they do, that he would treat you right and not hide anything from you .
