Our Healthcare Crisis


There over 47 million Americans currently that have NO healthcare insurance, 9 million are children. Our children are suffering at the hands of Corporate America. Not only is there raised cost of healthcare, but benefit availability has been cut. The cost is so high that the average working family can’t afford the premiums, resulting in more unhealthy Americans. Even those that can afford some sort of coverage don’t always get GOOD healthcare. How could this happen in a country that is supposed to be one of the wealthiest and leading in healthcare research worldwide? The Government keeps telling us that they are looking out for our best interest and are taking care of “it’s” people. Take a look at your own healthcare policies, does yours provide what you need? Can you afford it?

.Millions of citizens over 65 or disabled who rely on Medicare have been forced to pay higher premiums, already live on a fixed income. This group also relies on medications to live a somewhat productive life. With increasing prescription costs, they are forced to make a choice of eating or purchasing their medications they NEED. Now how is that a better healthcare system that the government keeps talking about?

Other countries have socialized governmental healthcare systems for all of its citizens, while they may have to wait for some non-emergency treatments, they are at least covered. But is socialized medical care going to be any better? With a proposed Healthcare Act on the table to cover everyone, could we be forced into treatments we want no part of? While we wait people are having healthcare crises or dying early, due to the time it’s taking our all loving government to pass all of these laws.  The longer it takes for the change, the more people we lose every day! Good way to knock off a few million Americans, don’t you think?
