Re: Private healthcare
To point out the fact: "Poor people have good health care because the working people are paying for it". USA is built on a huge pyramid scheme. The wealthy few at the top have the cream of healthcare. The wide base at the bottom also has good health insurance because all is covered. My spouse is a manager in purchasing in corporate america and our insurance sucks! I would not go to a doctor because of the copays, medicine copays are also outrageous - one time my dtr had an ear infection and the RX was 25 dollars so I passed, I did not have the money at the time (remember my money is locked so it cannot be touched - one must live on current income only). To buy private outside of a policy from work, or as stated many employers do not offer insurance is outrageosly expensive. We have many elderly who are draining our system because it was planned actuariarly (sp?) that they should be dead by now. This is causing many problems for the auto makers - called legacy costs. Our system is horrible. The department of health and human services - key into a search engine - and you will see for yourself.
