Health Care For America Now!
has started a nationwide 40 million dollar campaign to begin a coalition for change in our health care system. They hope to be able to pressure lawmakers and insurance companies to hold them accountable and fill in the present gaps in our system. They want to change policies that affect people who are denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions and who otherwise fall through the cracks in the system. They hope to be able to drive costs down, encourage competition between insurance companies, and recruit many more supporters to force these badly needed changes.
England Strikes Again
I thought it was bad enough that the English didn’t want to treat the elderly but now I am reading that they don’t want to treat the sick and dying. A man was dying of a brain disease, his doctors did not want to give him basic life support. I am talking about nutrition and hydration. He wants to live and the government says, it would put a strain on them. They also said if they give in to that, then dying people will want other lifesaving measures. What planet am I on? If someone is bleeding to death are they going to say,” Sorry you had your blood and you look like you’re gonna die anyway, so we’re not going to give you anymore, it would be a waste”. Is this what happens when government is involved in health care?
