Universal Medicare
I am so tired of paying medical bills. They are literally going to break us! We have insurance now and we are still paying thousands of dollars out of pocket that the insurance won't cover. I am so sick of American health care. I know this isn't the popular opinion, especially in my group of friends. America need to get with it! I have heard all the arguments of the opposing opinion about lesser quality of health care but I just don't buy this crock of krap. I have family and friends in both Canada and Australia and they are very happy with the health care there. People who say they have bad health care there more than likely have never even been there! I am tired of WICKED CORRUPT companies inflating the prices of medication when they are adding fillers just to produce more product. Why should the poor not get the same attention as upper class? Communism is a bad word here but when we learn about the Celestial Kingdom...doesn't it somewhat reflect that. Perfect Ideal Communism? I realize that is taking it to a bit of an extreme. Really I am just pissed that we pay 700 a month in insurance and in the last month have paid a thousand to the dentist and the OB. How is that right? What happened to being a doctor for the sake of saving lives? Has Satan grabbed hold of all those people and told them money is more important????

I agree with you on so many levels. First of all, when we lived in Japan we had socialized medicine and it worked out great for us. At times I didn't feel like the care was as good, but I think that it was partly due to the cultural differences between Japan and America. For instance, it was seen as very disrespectful to question or refuse certain advice from a doctor because they have such a high social status. Here in America it seems like you can ask your doctor questions and stuff without being seen as rude.
Also, I have friends in Canada too who say the health care is fine and they like the system.
Right now we have insurance but our deductible is 2000 dollars! It is ridiculous. So basically I get my annual check up which is covered under preventative, but other than that nothing is covered. It's really hard since I have to get my blood tested every 6 weeks and they somehow justify charging 200 dollars for sticking a needle in me. WTF?
I really miss my midwife in SLC. There were times I'd go in for something and she wouldn't even charge me because she knew I didn't have insurance. She was so sweet like that. Anyway, sorry about the novel. :)
I hate it too! Don't know enough about socialized medicine to have an opinion but I'd be willing to listen and give it a chance if I didn't have to pay out the butt just to get poked and proded and have no results! :)
