Health Care Debate

There currently is a huge debate going on over Health Care. I feel somewhat concerned and torn over it. Our Health Care expenses are through the roof, and we get ours through Brent's employer. But after our portion is taken out of his paycheck and our monthly prescriptions are filled our monthly cost is over $400.00. Because of Diabetes, high blood pressure and my ear problems it would be hard for us to get on a different plan because of preexisting conditions. I am very concerned for our Daughter who will no longer be eligible to stay on our plan after the first of the year because she graduated college in May. And I don't know how she will afford a plan if she can get one. She recently had a tumor removed from her parathyroid gland and will fall in the preexisting condition category. But my concern with the Government run plan is a fear of the loss of Doctors. I know of several people that work for Dr's that say their Dr will retire if the Gov plan passes. Then these people will lose their jobs. I heard that over 50,000 people in the Medical field will lose their jobs if the Gov plan passes. My Daughter will most likely be one of them. Then she will have no Health Ins or JOB. Obama said that if you are happy with your Dr, then you can keep your Dr. Well I won't, because I spoke with my ear Dr last Thursday and he said that he will most likely quit practicing, or go into private practice and only see patients with good Ins or money to pay cash for his services. He will not participate in the Gov-run plan. He said that it would not be worth his time, for what little the Government will pay him. If the Gov run passes then most all Business will push their employees off on it, because it will be cheaper for them to pay the Governments fine than to pay for their employees to have Health Insurance. So only people with money or good Ins will get a good Doctor. People on the Gov-run plan will most likely wait months to see a Dr that will take them, then get a band aid or an aspirin and sent home. Plus I am sure that our taxes will go up in order to pay for it. They say they won't, but how are they going to pay the 1.6 trillion dollar price tag for it? Plus the Senior Citizens will suffer because Medicare will be cut 500billion dollars to help pay for it. Which will leave the elderly to pay even more out of their own pockets or have to take out supplemental plans to help pay the difference. I want everyone to have Health care but not at the expense of others. I think that Sara Palin was a little extreme when she said that there will be "Death Panels". But Obama said himself that to cut down on cost, there will be a panel of people who will decide whether or not you need to have a test run. If they decide "not" and you should have had the test run, get sick and die, then it would be a "Death Panel". And if it is going to cut down on health care expenses to have this "panel" decide whether or not to allow your test to be run, then just how much is it going to cost to pay these thousands of people on the "panels" who are making these decisions?
