Who pays the health bill?

What it's really like to be uninsured in America
Video: an uninsured American reacts to Sicko
If you are like most Americans, you have some form of health insurance. But more than 45 million Americans have no health coverage whatsoever. If you have ever wondered how one might cope without coverage, watch this video by an uninsured American, who was inspired by the movie "Sicko" to post a video. Then let us know what you think is driving this problem and the best way we can fix it.

Health Care

I am very upset about the "crooked" Doctors and Lawyers that help Phonies get SSI.  There is a woman 52 years old who lives above me (The neighbor from Hell)  Who is "Disabled"??? She claims to be in soooo much pain she is prescribed Pain Killers that taxpayers pay for and she sells them..She has a caregiver 3 times a week that taxpayers pay for.  She bought a new car and spends most of her time in casinos coming home at 3 am and disturbing my sleep by running around upstairs when no one can see her.  She is a liar, and a  thief and we are giving her the Social Security money we earned.  If I can work at 74 years of age why should I support her.  There are families and kids living on the street with nothing and this "SICKO" is bveing treated like a Queen.

She is just one of many who are draining the system ..

Thank you

discussing our Outrageous health care system
Thank you for blogging about Health Care Reform!  The growing number of uninsured, now at over 47 million, the high cost of insurance and the release of the 2008 presidential candidates health care plans have brought the topic of health care reform to national headlines and prime time news.

But what about the individual stories of American citizens facing a health care crises today? How do they navigate the broken health care system?  At Outrageous Times.org we talk about the issues concerning individuals and small businesses. In addition to reporting on pending legislation and the record profits of pharmaceutical and insurance companies, we address the real life stories -- emergency room care, mental health issues, drug abuse, obesity, preexisting conditions and children's health. By letting our voices be heard-together we can find common sense solutions to reduce health care costs and increase access to quality health care for all.

Outrageous Times is our monthly grass roots newspaper, dedicated to health care reform now and is distributed to over 20.0000 readers in Mercer County, WV and Tazewell, VA. The web site www.OutrageousTimes.org is a both a local and national health care resource. We would like to invite you and your readers to submit your stories, experiences, observations and opinions to OutrageousTimes.org.

Health care should be the focus, not health insurance

Health execs reap the benefits
Let us talk about health care, not health insurance. All americans get health care. The 47 million americans without health insurance means that 47 million americans are not helping finance the health insurance executives. With 100 dollar profit per insured that means that  if they were all insured an extra 4.7 BILLION dollars would available for the insurance executives, not for care.   RSGMDESq @ aol. com
