It's an excellent example of the rampant crack-slipping in the US regarding health care.Ordie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01453495260747294866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521345354507462220.post-60939419853866353772009-09-22T21:18:47.560-05:002009-09-22T21:18:47.560-05:00Mike, that is a perfect example of why it is imper...Mike, that is a perfect example of why it is imperative that we have health care available for everyone. <br /><br />We went through a similiar situation with my brother if you recall. Even after the settlement money and our rather descent medical coverage, there we no way my parents could afford to pay for the extensive attention he required. My father who made much more than the average college graduate at the time was forced to make a lot of very hard decisions and the repurcusions still haunt them to this day. <br /><br />I just wish people could hear stories like ours, look at the facts of how much more we spend than other countries on healthcare and receive lower quality care, and be able to make the right decision for everyone. It is very likely that we will all spend a lot less on healthcare and yet still cover everybody in the country at the same time. Sounds like a "win-win" situation to me, but to others it's not so obvious.Cole Morrisnoreply@blogger.com
