I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM
Perhaps we all need food insurance. If healthcare-on-demand is a "right" then surely food is, too.


If someone can't afford to buy food of course they should be helped out by the state. Same with healthcare


But that isn't what Jens said. That isn't what a great many of the people at this site say. They find it crazy that anyone pays anything directly for their own healthcare. My point is, food and housing are at least as basic "rights" as healthcare. Yet, I don't think hardly anyone at this site thinks that giving higher taxes to the government and then having them allocate food and housing would be a good thing. Yet, for some reason, that seems to be the most widely held idea as a solution to healthcare at this site.

I have a medical costs question too... Lupine - 10/02/2010 03:08:14 PM 908 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 564 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 536 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 537 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 368 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 495 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 495 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 547 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 497 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 497 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 454 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 246 Views
and as far as the frustrating part... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:58:39 AM 333 Views
Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 332 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 511 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 445 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 449 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 501 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 487 Views
It was funny, because most of them were medical-ish, but I got a bariatric center, a therapist... Lupine - 11/02/2010 02:25:03 PM 337 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 520 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 463 Views
Oops, I replied in the wrong place. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:07:15 PM 358 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 481 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 362 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 450 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 502 Views
I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly. Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 04:54:55 PM 558 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 370 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 330 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 363 Views
no damookster - 10/02/2010 08:40:12 PM 351 Views
I didn't like the example ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:46:24 PM 461 Views
that's why I pay for health insurance *NM* damookster - 10/02/2010 08:58:06 PM 147 Views
So do we? *NM* Legolas - 10/02/2010 09:13:28 PM 240 Views
exactly damookster - 10/02/2010 09:22:14 PM 397 Views
Precisely ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:00:39 PM 325 Views
There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 503 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 558 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 353 Views
Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM* LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:19:09 PM 157 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 479 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 330 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 518 Views

Thank you! Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:25:42 PM 318 Views
I believe, although I no longer am covered by Blue Cross, that most tests are covered. Ghavrel - 10/02/2010 11:28:34 PM 421 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 331 Views
In my case... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:53:32 AM 372 Views

I have no idea regarding insurance smaug - 11/02/2010 10:32:11 AM 478 Views
Yes, and just in general, it's good to have a GP. But they are elusive creatures. Like unicorns. *NM* Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:33:24 PM 242 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 315 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 326 Views
