IMHO, I have found the current private health care plans lacking affordable coverage in various areas. There are manly areas that allow loop holes which allow parties to create cost prohibitive care. Therefore, the majority of us are not aware of these road-blocks until they are upon us. If these were minor issues I probably wouldn't raise a fuss, but not the case, cost prohibitive care can strike any of us. You don't know when you are going to run up against one of these issues, until it's too late. This are the type of things that needs fixing.
By news reports 76% of americans agreed that it was important to have a public or a private plan.
What we need is high quality affordable health care, public or private whatever the folks need and agree on. We need oversight of the system so the system stays under control and folks have a way to voice any apparent problems. And, we need this system yesterday, today is too late for many.

Re: The Great Health Care Debate
The question should have been, are you happy with your health INSURANCE policy? I like my Dr.s, nothing wrong with my health CARE. But I also know my Dr.s spend far too much time dealing with the paperwork and in-network is the biggest pain in the rear. Even in the hospital, health CARE is only an issue in...get this...the emergency room because of so many non-emergencies.
I have the silver handcuffs - the Government plan beats private sector hands down. Pity the 3 man shop! So far we've never taken any policy from my husband's jobs.
Are they including INSURANCE costs (both for the company and employee) in those health care cost numbers? If not, it's a useless number.

Re: The Great Health Care Debate
Rescission = We don't like something in your medical record? We're cancelling your policy....
"...."Peggy Raddatz, whose brother Otto Raddatz lost his insurance coverage right before he was scheduled to receive an expensive stem-cell transplant to treat his lymphoma. Why? Because Fortis Insurance Company discovered his doctor had found gall stones and an aneurysm on a CT scan -- conditions that had nothing to do with his cancer, that never bothered him and that he wasn't even aware of. And Jennifer Wittney Horton of Los Angeles, California, whose coverage was canceled because she had been taking a drug for irregular menstruation. Now, she can't get coverage anywhere else. 'Since my rescission, I have had to take jobs that I do not want, and put my career goals on hold to ensure that I can find health insurance,' she told the subcommittee."..."

Because of my medical condition I would be uninsurable for both life and health insurance anywhere in private industry. Another reason to be thankful for our federal government jobs!

Re: The Great Health Care Debate
Well well silver little bird,
Yes, a lot of people are happy with their health INSURANCE policy.... I admit I was....
The problem that WE ALL ARE IN (except the rich) is that not all of the other folks play by the rules. There are bad players in health care. AND there is a sufficient number of bad players that makes an affordable system impossable.
Why are we looking at a TRILLION or more $ to reform health care.....
Why? IMHO, it's the bad players. Some of which is nothing more than greed gone wild.

Re: The Great Health Care Debate
That is undoubtedly an 'understatement' - the biggest Truth.
I am so grateful you became who you are and have what you do.
There are others on the MB this equally applies to - and one of the greatest also got damaged in a car accident. It's amazing how much you have in common.

We need less government involvement, not more.
I only got to item 1 and that was enough....
Re: The Great Health Care Debate
You should read the entire article about President Obama's former doctor. Notwithstanding the somewhat misleading title of the article, the doctor seems to be criticizing the President's health care plans as not going far enough.
