I was alive in those days as well. Our local Doctor basically told his patients to stop drinking, take a couple of aspirin and get some rest and stitched up a kids hand without anesthetic. That was my memory of medicine 55 years ago.
No thanks; I take a Uniform Health Care system supported by real progressive income taxes. We do not need private sector bureaucrats deciding how much we will pay and what we will get from private sector for profit insurance companies.
That's pretty much most peoples view of it 'before' the insurance industies entry to the field.
I remember, if I felt sick at work, going to the company nurse, who might sent me to the company doctors office. Even if you had just a cold or tempeture, you had to see the company nurse before you'd get 'excused' for the day. I remeber when my appendix burst, the surgery was paid for by the companies insurance, but I had to pay for the initial ER doctor/visit, since I didn't get to the company nurse first.
You can quote all the statistics you can find. When a pair of eyeglasses costs $1200, something is WRONG. And if the President is the only person in a position of authority willing to do something about that, then he deserves a hell of a lot more support than he's getting.
Too bad 0bamaCare will not bring down costs, since it does nothing to address health care costs, all it does is absorb them. Your hideously expensive glasses will still cost $1,200.
I guess obama can't really demonize those Americans who are happy with their HC - about 85%.
He's got to find someone to demonize and target as the "enemy".
Never thought I'd see a US President so bent on targeting and demonizing those entities that are an integral part of US growth.

Cherry picking and grasping at straws are favorite pastimes of the extreme right.
Plenty of ways to get around 'profit' in large organizations; all they have to do is pay very high salaries and lots of perks, and get off not having to pay taxes by being 'non-profit'. Lot's of abuse there too.

this comment defy's logic.
first, the presidents plan doesnt cover eyeglasses.
second the cost of eyeglasses have nothing what so ever to do with Insurance companies.
third, the existance of $1200 eyeglasses does not in any way imply that other eyeglasses dont cost $50.
eye glasses that cost $1200 do so because some designer decided to make them and some person thought it was a good buy.
Blame humans for spending $1200 on eye glasses when they could have spent less than 10% of that figure if they wanted to.
