Something is wrong with this picture

Posted: Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Health care costs have risen by 75 percent under the Bush administration. Meanwhile, the quality of health care has declined in all segments by that percent.

" How do you relate the presidancy with the lobbtist in congress that push legislation in favor of insurance companys. You are no smarter than someone looking for weappons of mass distruction in a village of pheasants and offer only confusion to a growing problem. "

" To Linda N: How much confidential medical information have you improperly divulged being you have such a difficult time keeping your trap shut. One more thing, it's illegal to practice medicine without a license. "

" I think the insurance companies need to be more accountable for what they do with our premiums. On Sept. 11, 2001, when the planes hit the twin towers, our monthly medical insurance premiums were about $250 a month. Within 3 or 4 years, our premiums had gone up to $800 a month. Our automobile premiums also rose considerably, although I cant remember the actual amounts. It seems that all of those premiums that we paid went somewhere else, so that when there were things to be paid, they had to start charging more to make up for their loses. Does anyone know what insurance companies do with our premiums? I would think they should be set aside in some kind of a fund to be ready when needed like we would have savings accounts for when an emergency arises. I agree that the illegals dont help with the costs, but I dont think they are to blame for all of it. And you can't blame it all on George. "

" A 75 percent increase in cost and a 75 percent decrease in the quality of health care, Gary? How dumb do you take us all to be? Perhaps you have suffered a 75 percent decrease in your brain capacity. Sorry, that is just a stupid comment. "
