Perhaps expansion of Medicare would be a solution, a Government program mind you. I guess thats one option...
I KNOW, we have to have some kind of reform, not just to limit the spiraling costs but because people are dieing, right now. When the Las Vegas oncology clinic closed, recently, that was a real wake up call for me. Suddenly a couple of thousand people were left with no options, no way to get medication. Those at home, and many were out patients to begin with, will have their medical supplies taken right out of their bedrooms. Oxygen tanks, special beds, other special supplies will be reposessed by the contracted suppliers for non-payment. That is ONE clinic among the thousands in America that are/will be running out of money. People ARE going to die as a result. I feel compelled to do something, like "stump" for health care reform. The problem is FAR beyond the capacity of Churches and non-profits to even begin to address it.
If 85% have insurance it is NOT acceptable to let the other 15% die because they don't.
