Well, I belong to a HMO and I get whatever I need or want, so I have no complaints. If anything, there may be a few too many referrals to specialists for concurrences! Were it not for the
very attentive staff at my HMO, I surely would be dead now, or, slowly dying in agony from terminal cancer!
I volunteered for a while at a VA hospital and I can tell you, firsthand, that the care given is awful. I wrote complaint letters to the VA and my legislators which got me banned! My cat gets better care from his Vet!
Ask the Canadians who have to come to the US to avoid death what they think of the "
public option"!
Robbing elder care to fund folly is insanity! But then, none of us will ever grow old, so why should we worry ... NOT!
Go volunteer at the VA, or a charity rest home, and you'll gain a new perspective! You need to try to
walk a mile in the shoes of the neglected to have any real feeling for how badly our Congress is trying to screw us!
I now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress ...
