limit malpractive suits will go a long way in reducing health care costs.

You can vote for someone who is pro-death?
The main problem with healthcare is the government. There is virtually no difference between the donkeys and the elephants. Only degrees.

Hmmmm...good idea; I'll have to check into that. Jeffrey doesn't have consistent asthmatic symptoms, just usually onset from illness. (Like allergies, or a cold.) So we only have to buy this stuff a couple of times a year, and I keep a small stash of albuterol at home for emergencies. However, I don't remember it costing so much last year.
I wonder if some over the counter Primatene Mist would work for him?
Jeffrey went to the doc yesterday, and is fighting another bout of pneumonia...we don't have insurance, so obviously everything has to be paid up front. His meds were out of SIGHT. Ugh. I about fell over when the pharmacist gave me the total for his antibiotics, steroids and albuterol. Nevertheless, I'd rather pay up front a couple of times a year then have to pay taxes out the nose all year long.
It is a problem, though...we have the money to pay for our own basic healthcare, barring some kind of extended hospitalization, but not everyone does. Insurance policies are pretty much a joke, since by the time we pay the deductibles and fees, we could've already paid for it all ourselves anyway. Hospitalization is the only worrisome thing.
I think this is a huge problem, because the PRICES of pharmaceuticals and medical treatments have gone up SO MUCH that the average person can't pay for it on their own. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of everyone paying for everyone else's health care and taxes being sky high.
I'm not sure what all the answers are. Hopefully we'll pull through this surgery with the insurance we have. If not, we may end up declaring bankrupcy. I hope not.
Anyway, you might try getting some catastrophic insurance for emergencies.
I want to add, that our health care system is in a crisis. the republicans have done absolutley nothing about it. at least Hilary has a plan that's a little better than what's current.
she also has a good plan for national education - every child would get 5000 when they are born. this money would be invested and at the age of 18 it would go towards a college degree. even a republican commentator had to admit this was a good plan.
Romney has a tried and proven plan. His plan is FAR better than Hillaryous'.
Not going to point fingers at others, but I couldn't feel like a Christians/saved if I voted for Hillary or anyone of her ilk.
