  4. I would have to guess that it was unintentional BUT pumping someone fill of dangerous meds all of the time is the height of stupidity
  5. big pharma has the privilege of holding the patent for a new super drug for x # of years and making ppl pay out the ass for it. No generic can become available until the patent expires. This is commonly referred to "Do I buy groceries/pay bills or buy meds/treatments I need to live" syndrome. No one should ever have to go through this. The ins co's are making enough profit to cover all Rx not just generic. Frivolous lawsuits aren't a prob reserved to medical malpractice. Ex stupid woman who burns herself on coffee and sues McD's. Thing is McD's didn't raise the price of a cup of coffee to 5$ to compensate themselves for being dragged into court. article with video I can't join the insurance co/big pharma pity party yo. They can totally fuck off
  6. I really don't think a public option is going to have a huge negative effect on private insurance. What will likely result is co's will drop prices(which will attract more customers) and offer business better rates for employees. The public option will help the uninsured who don't qualify for medicade or medicare; current govt options for low or no cost insurance to those living below the poverty level and the elderly. My gram was denied medicare once over 4 cents. Yes I said CENTS as in pennies. I can name friends and relitives who are arguably piss poor and don't qualify for medicade because they make anywhere from a few bucks to a few hundred over the limit for medicade. The gap between the next to nothing co- pays/premiums of govt insurance and private insurance is thousands of dollars a year that these financially struggling ppl can't afford. Medicade and medicare have similar drawbacks of private insurance, some docs don't accept that insurance. With a public options more docs not less will re-work policy to include accepting govt insurance thus increasing the # of docs instead of causing the mythical doc shortage some believe in. Here is a reality/horror story for you... my sis is a hairdresser, her employer provides no insurance option as he 'rents the booth' to his private contractor employees ~then gouges the back bar keeping everyone in that shop uncomfortably broke. Frank is the typical greedy small business owner and an overall asshole. My sis has a pre existing condition, polyneuritis, her first kidney failure happened when she was 8. This past winter she had to go through the ER for more kidney trouble, this time stones. She's one of the millions w/o insurance and now in debt (the bill was about 3 grand) with medical bills she's making monthly payments on. Not poor enough to qualify for medicade. Not enough income for health care premium costs. There are millions of people stuck in this group without insurance. We're supposed to be this great nation yet we suck hard at taking care of our own citizens. Health and education systems are a fail. Most people have no problem with the govt run public schools, govt health insurance option would be comparable to a public school vs a private school. You'll get your education/doc visits and quality will depend on where you're going for services. (ex: regents program schools vs jesus rode a dinosaur in Texas) A public option that works on a sliding scale is the only way to get insurance to the people who desperately need it. Private for profit ins co's don't give a fuck about customers wellbeing and finances, they care about making the maximum amount of money.
