Time to talk..Health Care

I'm sure your blood pressure is up before even reading further on, this topic seems to have that effect on people. Relax, no really, RELAX, I am not going to spew statistics at you or even call this a Democratic or Republican debate. It isn't. My political party has nothing to do with how I think about my health nor should it you. It's about getting the best care I can. Here's my take, period.

I was a productive member of society living just like you when I was in an accident two weeks after I turned 30. I continued to work once I healed enough although the pain never left me. As I turned 40, injuries from the accident got worse requiring surgery that left me unable to work. I have been on Social Security and Medicare ever since. Mk found a good managed care Medicare Supplement plan for me so I still have my family doctor and have not been denied any health care, ever. Knowing I can count on them to manage my health concerns and the medicines I need is a life saver considering the money I have lost from being unable to work.

My point is this; I keep hearing people say they will take care of paying for it themselves because they are hard working people. Well hard working people, try telling that to me when in a split second you(or your kids, your sister or brother) are unable to work for the rest of your life.

I wouldn't care who was in office at this point-knowing that if something should prevent my children from having care or buying medicine a plan would be in place for them, then I am all for it. And do I think people in power will kill me when I am old? I doubt it and if they do...well, I am hoping they will at least pay for the drugs to do it.
