Speaking Up From the Blog, Pt.2 – Healthcare is breaking us; we have no fix, yet.

If it were not so serious, it would almost be amusing. But it is serious and the first blogger on the list was signed in as ‘Dennis’ (Avg 4.20). This same story is the story of, probably, millions of others. ‘Dennis’ has already spent $10,000 of his life savings, just this year between health insurance premiums and care. He laments how this terrible blight on our land, called the ‘health insurance crisis’ is being by ignored by our leaders, just like the credit crisis was a few months before the crash. It had to be up in our face before we even acknowledged it existed. Lifestyles got re-arranged by force, not by prevention. What will it take to avoid the health insurance crisis having to blow up like the lending industry did?

This next blog is from both a medical provider and consumer, signed in as ‘GRM’. He has worked with the military, the Veteran’s Affairs Medical system and also in the private health care sectors. He has studied both the Canadian and Northern European health insurance/care systems. He finds flaws in each of them. Although, he does not advocate a government-run health insurance care system, he does see the need for government oversight. Without such, he believes that, we will continue with the terrible system-in-crisis that we have now.

In his practice, he’s seeing more and more patients without health insurance/care. He cites too many rules, regulations and restrictions that are non-governmental.

GRM’ believes that Obama's health insurance/care plan clearly has flaws in it, too. He says that Mr. O is seriously understating cost savings potential and is overlooking the potential pitfalls.
