I know COBRA is available for many, but it is very expensive to keep up and runs only for a limited period. Questions like this have been asked before and those against governement supported health care just accused those who didn’t have health insurance as lazy losers. But with the economy crashing, the scenario has changed. If you aren’t employed anymore and have no income and little savings, what are you doing for health insurance?
TAT…I left my job and my COBRA payment was $1,200 a month for me and my family. When you are unemployed, that is a LOT of money and not “reasonable” as you describe it. Many don’t have enough money for rent and food, much less that kind of money.

I want to see proof that government can really manage health care before we all have to pay the price. Medicare is going broke, yet terminally ill seniors are getting expensive treatments not related to their terminal illness (such as hip replacements for a patient dying of cancer with less than a year to live). There doesn’t appear to be any cost-saving protocols. If you need it, you get it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Obama is trying to push a public health system that will allow everybody to have health insurance no matter what pre existing conditions he or she may have.
If this is reached, what would happen to insurance carriers like Blue Cross, Blue Shield? Will we need these companies and health insurance agents?

in fighting against a government sponsered health care plan?

Funny how a 60 seat Democrat majority in the Senate caused the health insurance industry to spring into action.

If they can figure out how to cut 1.5% of their costs now, how come they wouldn’t agree to these proposed cuts in, lets say, 2003?

These two points were made by Obama in his argument for urgency in passing his health care proposals. Isn’t he robbing “Peter to pay Paul”? This plan would tax businesses more than they currently pay for employee health care.
