That's funny. Makes health insurance sound like a disease.

It is, it makes your pockets get diarrhea.

Or give your bank account hemophilia from the constant bleeding of funds.

And the idiots on the right don't want anything to change....so their rich buddies at the insurance and pharm companies can continue to rape the American public not only healthwise but financially.

Talk about DEATH PANELS. The insurance companies are the true DEATH PANELS!

I've been aware for years that I had type 2 diabetes but I would never allow my doctors to enter that on my records until I got onto medicare. Had it been in my records, I would have been denied insurance! I had one company refuse to renew me because my doctor wrote I had a bit of arthritis in my left foot! Go figure!

Damn Crooks!

Government Option NOW if we can't get single payer! SOMETHING has to wake up the insurance industry to the fact that we aren't taking their B.S. any longer!

I feel your pain. Doctors these days are too quick to diagnose something and prescribe medication. I went to a doctor from work, and he diagnosed me with high blood pressure. I told him that I just came from work. He tried to prescribe something anyways. Told him I wasn't taking it. I would prefer that I came in during a calm period. He agreed finally after a couple more visits. Came in on a weekend and blood pressure was normal, maybe a little low. His new prescription? Strangle the b@$tard that was stressing me out.

And the GOP argues against a public option? That is the ONLY way we will clean up the fraud and corruption of the private insurance companies.

We also MUST be able to negotiate prices with the pharms.

If you drive a crook to the scene of the crime, remove law enforcement, have someone on the 'inside' to assist, and hand the crook a gun, he obviously gets away with it! THIS IS EXACTLY what the GOP has consistently supported! More obscene profits through egregious gouging of the public. It is time to STOP this!

It is totally beyond my comprehension why ANYONE would continue to support these practices and the party that allows them....all in the name of money and power at the expense of the individual.
