Critical Care - Dateline's compelling investigation into healthcare....


Posted: Jan 26, 2010

Did anyone else see this show last evening? I watched in horror.......

I encourage EVERYONE to take the time to view this show on Dateline's website. I'm hoping this link will work.....

Those of you who have coverage and think you are "set" - may just be scared out of your shoes........

It is my firm belief that everyone in this country should have the exact same level of health care and should be covered from birth till death....... There are too many countries that have this and it works !!!

Those of you that don't agree with reform and/or have concerns..... I challenge you to watch this program.....

Health insurance is definitely not what it used to be....sm - oldtimer

[ In Reply To ..]
Way back, if you had good insurance with BC/BS with your company everything was paid for. Not so now. There are very strong limitations, big co-pays, high premiums, denials of new treatments, no incentive to live a healthy life. Your employer has a list or a menu of what they want to provide and, since the insurance companies are for-profit, profit is their main concern. This is why I want a public OPTION. What is wrong with having an OPTION? I do want my health care to be between me and my doctor, not between me and the insurance company with my doctor's recommendations being ignored. Is that too hard to understand?

Healthcare: With O-Care An Obvious Crashing Ill-conceived FailureNov 12, 2015
The overlords who tell their liberal minions what to believe (which is far less difficult than it would be, save for the public education system) want them to think that conservatives don't want people to have healthcare. This, of course, is such utter nonsense that you'd think the minions would be able to spot the obvious flaws in such propaganda right from the git-go, but (again, thanks to the public education system) it seems that even such simple rationation is beyond their capabi ...

Healthcare's Bipartisan Problem. Almost Half Of Healthcare SpendingJan 13, 2017
healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

This Is CRITICAL: We Must FORCE Clinton To Clearly DefineJul 16, 2016
Does "vetting" mean the (apparent) absence of negative information?  If so, it is not vetting at all.  People who do background investigations will know what I mean.  Vetting starts with a POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF IDENTITY, and goes on from there. If Hillary Clinton really MEANS proper vetting, HER POSITION IS BARELY DIFFERENT FROM TRUMP'S.  The simple fact is that there is no way to properly vet most individuals who come from Syria, Libya, etc.  Give it up and fa ...

FBI Director Comey May Be Under InvestigationOct 31, 2016
Good for the goose. FBI Director James Comey argued privately that it was too close to Election Day for the United States government to name Russia as meddling in the U.S. election and ultimately ensured that the FBI's name was not on the document that the U.S. government put out, a former bureau official tells CNBC. The official said some government insiders are perplexed as to why Comey would have election timing concerns with the Russian disclosure. I think he has been playi ...

The DOJ Should Not Be Dragging The Clinton Investigation Out.Jan 22, 2016
This is becoming silly now.  It took about 20 minutes for the DOJ to bring charges against Petraeus for much, much less egregious mishandling of information, and it was also less sensitive information than Clinton's.  It's not right for this thing to be hanging over everyone's heads going into the primaries, and at least 2 former AGs and other experts have said that she should be indicted. I don't know whether she should be or not.  It certainly looks that way ...
