07/17/15 - Saturday - Our Health

Leading cause of bankruptcy...medical bills. 

So not fun...especially when it sounds like you have more ahead of you.  The stress of health care costs is hurting our health even more.

I have and still feel that our health, mental and otherwise should not be for anyone's profit.  Yes they need to make an income, but..... 

Then there is the insurance companies...you get insurance so this doesn't happen.  Cost goes up...coverage goes down. 

Everything has become centered around money not our health.

Many presidents have talked about a national solution.  Nothing came of it.

President Obama put the conversation regarding health care costs and insurance front and center with the Affordable Care Act.

I don't believe that President Obama ever intended for the Affordable Care Act to be the final answer.  The intention was to get us pointed in the right direction.

Instead we and our politicians have made the Affordable Care Act another point of division among us.

I'm not sure myself of what a long term solution would look like.

At the same time I do know, we need to get the gross profit out at all levels. 

Getting paid for services and having an income are important for providers and researchers...where does that end and gross profiting begin.

Our health and research into solutions for so many problems would be easier to fund if a lot of those extra hands weren't in the pot.

United we stand….divided we fall.

Think about it….

If there wasn't a profit…there wouldn't be so many insurance companies or lawyers involved. 


It's our health.
