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 890 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 546 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 518 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 520 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 353 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 475 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 479 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 533 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 486 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 481 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 438 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 240 Views
and as far as the frustrating part... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:58:39 AM 319 Views
Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 319 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 498 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 431 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 433 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 481 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 474 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 321 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 507 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 451 Views
Oops, I replied in the wrong place. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:07:15 PM 341 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 461 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 349 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 436 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 488 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 543 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 354 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 317 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 350 Views
no damookster - 10/02/2010 08:40:12 PM 331 Views
I didn't like the example ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:46:24 PM 446 Views
that's why I pay for health insurance *NM* damookster - 10/02/2010 08:58:06 PM 140 Views
So do we? *NM* Legolas - 10/02/2010 09:13:28 PM 233 Views
exactly damookster - 10/02/2010 09:22:14 PM 381 Views
Precisely ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:00:39 PM 313 Views
There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 490 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 544 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 339 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 150 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 470 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 317 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 504 Views

Thank you! Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:25:42 PM 306 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 405 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 317 Views
In my case... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:53:32 AM 359 Views

I have no idea regarding insurance smaug - 11/02/2010 10:32:11 AM 466 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 236 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 300 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 310 Views
