If it's not, then you're still lying. Show me some developed democracies with more expensive health care systems than what we have.

Almost 30% of my wife's paycheck goes to the Aetna tax to keep us insured. Then they hassle her for multiple documents every year to prove I'm her husband. Then they try to deny claims. Soon they may make a death panel decision on me. Big brother taxer death panel health insurance. You go ahead and be Aetna's fan. Nobody's stopping you. --Vic

It is one of the biggest causes of bankruptcy for people who > have health insurance. There is normally NOT denial of services if a person is hospitalized and goes into intensive care or death watch. Hospitals have not been kicking you out on the street, and have eaten the enormous expenses. That may stop.

What just got voted in the House yesterday is the equivalent of putting a tourniquet on your arm when you have a broken leg, with the result that you still have a broken leg, and now you also need your arm amputated. -- Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |
