Death Panels

There is a scare tactic circulating about a Death Panel in the Heath Reform Bills being crafted. It is not true check at FactCheck.org, but there are Death Panels right now that decide whether we live or die. It is the Health Insurance Companies, they cap your lifetime benefits and decide what tests and treatments your Doctor can order for you. If we reach our lifetime cap, tough you gonna die, if they decide you cannot have treatments that could save your life, “the Health Insurance Panel”, tough you gonna die and they could care less. They are corporations that deal in profits, PERIOD. They are not in the business of making sure you get well, they are in it for GREED show me the money baby.

Just like the Pharmaceutical Companies are not in the business to find cures for illnesses, they are in the business to make drugs that you will pay for every month and it just maintains the illness, great revenue, record profits in that industry. If they find the cure for an illness you get cured and they lose all that revenue, think about it, where is their motivation to find a cure for cancer or any disease, there is no motivation, they are making huge profits selling “drugs” not cures.

Doctors are caught in the middle, they want to make us well and cure our illnesses but it is the Health Insurance Panels that decide what they can do and cannot do to treat you and the Pharmaceutical Companies are giving them all kinds of perks to push their drugs. There is no motivation for the Doctor to cure you, unless they need to cut down on their patience load and they are willing to play hardball with your Insurance Company, they would have to be fools to get on the wrong side of either one of those entities. If we and our Doctors want the power to decide what “we” need for our treatments and what drugs we REALLY NEED then we need Health Insurance Reform, we need the power over our own health care decisions with the information coming from our Doctors and the power to decide for ourselves what is best for our illness. Our Doctors should be able to order any “necessary” tests and treatments according to best practices that have worked for other patients with that illness.

This is just my 2 cents, but I know that there are a lot of folks that have no health insurance and people that would love to start a small business but cannot do it because of health care. We need this for Americans, we work hard and should be able to be Healed by our Physician, with no Health Insurance Company deciding to approve or deny the Doctors decisions. We spent 1.3 Trillion dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan, a lot of that money went into rebuilding their country, when Americans are without Health Care, are Homeless, No Jobs, being foreclosed on, shame on us for allowing things like this to happen in America, but Whoopy we are helping people that “HATE” us, while America is falling apart.
