Speaking Up On Health Insurance, Pt.1 – Americans must speak up now.

So now, retirees are to work two jobs after retirement just to pay for health insurance/care. It’s about time somebody spoke up. It’s tough when you’re too young for Medicare and must pay around $1,000 a month for health insurance. Especially when it’s so inadequate that the deductible is another $2,500. But, without working two part-time jobs, one couldn’t even afford that. Health insurance that was always considered a ‘given’ has now become a constant concern for too many Americans.

It's at the point now where many Americans will consider health insurance/care a top concern as they cast their ballots in November. Something must definitely be done to help provide health insurance. for all Americans.

Dave Coffman of Lee’s Summit is speaking up. He has been working two part-time jobs since he retired, just trying to afford long-term health insurance, dental and a health plan for he and his wife.

While not advocating socialized medicine, he believes the government must force health insurance/care providers to stay within bounds of what Americans can afford to pay. As reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, health insurance premiums have climbed 35% in just the past four years.

Even senior-level state directors for AARP Missouri, like John McDonald, director for the area of Missouri tries to straighten out the confusion by explaining that it’s not a problem of people with health insurance finding a good doctor or a good medical facility. The problem is paying the bill, afterward.

So what’s the big difference between the McCain health insurance/care Plan and the Obama plan? Some say it’s just the ‘financing mechanism’ If that were true, there would be of no consequential difference at all to us. We don’t care how it’s delivered. What we care about is what it does for us. This is the major difference on how people should cast their votes.
