Yes there is nothing wrong in insurance business and war; everything done at war front and in insurance business is justified, even if it is killing human lives. And when the insurance industry has many players, then it is survival of the fittest!

Obama seems to be another fused bulb/rocket that missed the trajectory! One man army can do nothing but you need to have a mass movement and you need to wait until then!

I’ve worked in medical billing for almost 15 years and over those years I’ve seen a lot of people go without much needed medical care, even if they have insurance, due to their high co-pays or deductibles, or even out-right denial for services by the insurance companies. There’s been times when I’ve seen a company deny a service even if the patient has a letter of medical necessity from a physician. It still makes me bristle when I think that someone can get Viagra without a hitch, but can’t get a lifesaving gastric bypass procedure because it’s deemed “cosmetic” or certain chemotherapy drugs because they’re “experimental.” These companies don’t feel guilt or mercy. They are BUSINESSES and business is all about making money. When Nixon approved the HMO Act of 1973 to save the faltering HMO companies, he made us slaves to the system.

One of the biggest reasons I voted for Obama was his promise of healthcare reform. That idea has mutated into healthcare INSURANCE reform. In my opinion, there can be no such thing unless you fix the ENTIRE healthcare system. It’s like using a band-aid for an amputation wound. Now I’m just afraid that some awful bill will be passed just to say they did something, even if that bill ends up making things worse than ever for everyday people, but again great for those big companies and their stockholders.

I’m keeping faith in our President but I also know one man cannot move a mountain alone.

Countrywide run free vaccinations are excellent; however, it is up to the people to actively take part and utilize the so provided care. You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, still the government tries to by making people aware; take the case of polio vaccination. The government wants to eradicate polio out of the country but still people skip the vaccinations due to ignorance!

One can approach the anti-corruption wing for getting the grievances addressed. The Right To Information Act 2005 enables a citizen to fetch information almost on any government document except defense secrets and almost no government personality is spared from the act. However, ignorance, lack of time and interest on the part of people to use the appropriate tool makes it easy for the tainted officials and politicians.

The government run hospitals are doing their best though they are over-occupied almost always, that’s where corruption creeps in hospital level socialized medical care. I think instead of blaming and cursing the system, people and voluntary organizations should think about making the current available facilities work fine with all the available resources.
