[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2710928, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Just for grins and giggle, I'll repeat my past experiences. I remember when I could walk into ANY doctor's office, plop down $5, $10, or at worse, $15 and be treated. If one wanted to, one could purchase insurance for "catastrophic" illnesses. Personally, I don't remember too many people complaining at that time. Then along came HMO's and PPO's where someone else was telling me I HAD to have a primary care doctor before I could do anything. If I remember right, Teddy Kennedy (the real politician - not the OSA member) had a part in writing the legislation that created those "health care systems." In his later years, he then decided that he needed to "fix" the health care system and began trying to get MORE health care legislation. That brings us to Obamacare, which has been a disaster for a lot of people, including helping create the mentality of Cornell wanting to do similarly with their system. The American people were lied to in order to get this monstrosity passed, and a lot lost their doctors and their existing health coverage. And, the other shoe is due to fall when the employer mandate "extension" expires. We retired last July and my wife can't afford health coverage that is available to her, even through the Obamacare exchanges, without there being extremely high deductibles. A $10,000 deductible would mean that for the most part, we would never have insurance to cover most of her medical needs because our needs aren't that high. However, in spite of that, she would still have to be paying a $300 (or more) monthly payment for that health "coverage." Oh, and I've talked with a number of young people who state that they will just pay the penalty. How's that going to help Obamacare fund its needs? [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
