Comments on: Proposed Amendment Targets Federal Health Overhaul http://www.northescambia.com/2011/04/proposed-amendment-targets-federal-health-overhaul Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:51:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lady http://www.northescambia.com/2011/04/proposed-amendment-targets-federal-health-overhaul/comment-page-1#comment-83967 Lady Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:21:01 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=52520#comment-83967 I hope this "forced" health care bill is repealed. I know we need health insurance very badly especially as we get older but it's got to be affordable. My advice is to prepare for health insurance when you are young. Don't depend on Medicare because that isn't a "drop in the bucket" when catrostophic illness hits. Just as we save for bad times, we must save, save, save for our illnesses. When you get ill and have to have "round the clock" care that is when you must have that "rainy" day savings ready. I've seen families wiped out because they had so many medical bills before leaving this old world. Young people, think about this as you work and bring home good pay checks. It may not always be that way. I hope this “forced” health care bill is repealed. I know we need health insurance very badly especially as we get older but it’s got to be affordable.

The health care plan removes the preexisting conditions from health insurance companies, so they can't use that as an excuse, however, they CAN charge you more for insurance! Do some research and you will find this is a BAD bill, which will just cost people more than the can afford and reward the insurance companies for all their lobbying in Washington!

Which can be anything, high blood pressure, high cholestrol, etc. insurance companies don't want to cover you. So most people really do not have a choice. “Sponsor Scott Plakon, R-Longwood, said it would allow people to make their own choices about health care”
