There is no cure. But..they can be clean and/or sober for the rest of their lives. yes they can winx. and this NATION also could cure the ghetto..cuz face it...aint that one of OUR biggest problems??? the source???? the cause perhaps...lack of ambition, feelings of failure, addiction, inability to find a decent job that is better than selling drugs and living on welfare, being pulled into a downward spiral. idk, Im just brainstorming. the cost of healthcare is obscene, I AGREE. The affordability is ridiculous, and sometimes I am quite sure its a conspiracy between insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. I will not talk about the docs treating the patients though, because for one thing they are covering their own butt, and tests need to be done, redone, and overchecked. although sometimes when you are so busy, things get overlooked. and sometimes its much easier to just write an order for daily chest xrays. they gotta cover their azzzzzz.......becasue at this point that guy they are trying to save...sure wouldnt mind trying to find a way to get him a lawsuit going on. but. if you want to complain about the price of healthcare, many already have free healthcare. that cost of the ER visit to get their stomach tapped to pull off some fluids. or emergent dialysis. whatever it is. they arent paying for their healthcare....so for the ones that are paying, this makes our costs higher..cuz everybodys gotta make some money somehow. Im not complaining, but I am also not suffering from a chronic disease. how do u figure we decrease the costs of healthcare?? well, we stop needing it as much. well Im in complete agreement with you there. but Im not sure how you intend to keep people outta the ER...make more immediate care places...make sure people are having regular checkups with their doc and taking all prescribed medications. I agree with the fact that people use the ER like a doctors office. BUT i really dont see that changing. if you have free (meaning no out of pocket money spent by yourself)healthcare, well it DOESNT matter. which "office" u use. as for using less invasive things to manage your illness. good luck changing that. potentiol for lawsuit would exist if all AVAILABLE treatments werent implemented. |

Every adult U.S. Citizen should get a piece, right down the line and the exact same amount. It doesn't matter who needs it more when it comes to re-stimulating the economy; almost everyone will use it in some way that is beneficial to the U.S. as a whole, be it investing or simply going to the local grocery store to buy diapers. but....if your address is not good it gets returned. should it be the government's responsibility to make sure you gave the right address on your taxes or change of address? 163 BILLION dollars gets returned... That's what I mean. Those billions should be resent to Americans to help the economy as a whole. And that which is returned should be again resent, and so on and so forth. I can't see how this would do anything but help the economy. If people have money to spend, they will spend it... and where will they most probably spend it? In and among America's economy, that's where. Best to do this around Christmas, too. |

I would like to add something to this conversation - another perspective. When one says that people already receive free healthcare, I'm thinking state paid. Many of these people have worked previously before they became ill. They may be temporarily unemployed. When they were working, they paid state taxes. It's like working and pay Soc. Sec. insurance and collecting it when you retire. |

hey i want free healthcare to. but ya know what..im too busy paying my taxes to live in a decent neighborhood.
the system is abused by MANY. some NEED it. some have put money into it. FEW can afford it. some people in this WORLD dont even have access to the bare essentils. (i.e. immunizations) let alone advanced treatments. |

When we say "free healthcare", I wanted to remind that it isn't all...I guess that I'm trying to say...negative connotations. |

and what about the ones who don't qualify for 'free' healthcare but can't afford premiums?

I think those are the people that Obama keeps talking about. He said working people with insurance will keep their insurance. It makes me think he's talking about the people that have fallen through the cracks. |

(addictions, crime, poverty, high cost of everything) the only treatment i can see to change things is BRING on the jobs. for unskilled workers. train them. impact peoples lifestyles. if you dont do THAT..then you are doing a quick fix that will ultimately end up requiring another quick fix. |

Every year at school my child has health education. They teach about healthy living, nutrition, etc. Maybe it's already starting in small ways. I don't recall having those classes when I was young. |
