Health Insurance vs. Health Care (companies, elect, money, government)

[checking out]

I'm sick (pun intended) of this silly play on words. Let's be clear. The law that is about to be signed was written by and for insurance companies.

Here's the battle. Insurance company execs and administrative costs are pitted againsts hospitals and doctors who are pitted against taxpayers.

The current plan seeks to address health care yet the reform is oriented towards those who have paid into the health care reserves, yes that means insurance.

My pitiful family and my hard earned ability to be able to afford insurance and what do I get.... disincentives.

I am so sick of a government that rewards the rich for their accomplishment yet deprives me of the benefit of my work.

You want to tax my health insurance... here's what I got in mind.

I will no longer fund your government with a tax refund that is due and payable come April 15th. Instead you will have to wait for your money.

I will opt for the lowest level of health insurance available. I will seek health care from providers who are willing to take less and provide more service. The doctor who can't seem to address more than one health care issue at a time will no longer be paid by me.

I am thinking I want the same coverage that my so called elected officials seem fit to declare for themselves. Otherwise I am not funding any health insurance reserve for the benefit of someone who hasn't paid during their lifetime.

Just want to make clear that I am not about denying health care to anyone who needs it.

Well that is just fine by me, incase any one asks.
