About healthcare:<br />
It looks like our healthcare is headed to an assembly line kind of thing.<br />
They lay everyone on a conveyer belt and specialists check us out.<br />
Maybe this kind of care will save the government money.<br />
I don’t understand how the government can afford a half million hospital bill.<br />
Also medical bills are a tax right off if you exceed your limit? If you are flat on your back, you have no income.<br />
Don’t know but expect many surprises.

<i>because the regulations allow upper management to structure the rewards system without the average shareholder having any say in the matter.</i><br />
<br />
Actually, it's not the "regulations" that allow this. The shareholders <i>allow</i> this to happen. Now there are a lot of reasons for this, some of which are not exactly kosher, and one could write a very long article about it (and there have been many that have been written).

Now there are a lot of reasons for this, some of which are not exactly kosher, and one could write a very long article about it (and there have been many that have been written). But much of it revolves around apathy. If you've ever owned even a single share of stock (and most people actually do), you get an annual report in the mail, along with a voter card, which can be filled out and sent in. Question: How many of you actually look at either one? (If it's more than two of you, I'll be shocked)<br />
<br />
If the shareholders can't be bothered to look out for their own interests, how can you blame management for taking advantage? It's interesting to note that in the past several years, there have been several substabtial movements among shareholders to voice their displeasure with management's sometime-high-handed tactics and there is also evidence that management takes heed.<br />

This is a prime example of why I have made the decision to stop participating in discussions about politics and religion.<br />
<br />
People throw up some random excerpts and then add their opinion as tho it were part of the document. This discussion is meaningful only in that it shows just how unreasonable some people can be. Why throw fictional books about religion into a discussion about health care? If there were a god, who was actualy in control , why would we even be having this discussion?<br />

Bob, I agree except for one thing, It is upper management who get rich, not the rank and file shareholders. Why? because the regulations allow upper management to structure the rewards system without the average shareholder having any say in the matter. They set it up so that they get rich even if the Corporation is going bankrupt. Then when forced out they open their "Golden Parachute" and the remaining stockholders get screwed.

I can totally synpathize with you, my Friend. My wife of 36 years lost a 2 year battle with cancer in 2007. I'm still paying....will probably still owe till the day I die. I have always paid my bills, but this as you know, is overwhelming.

I agree totally Bob. I am one of those who lost everything due to illness. I got cancer, and a month after the surgery, I had a hernia strangulate and nearly kill me. 4 hospitilizations, 3 surgeries, chemo and radiation, took everything I ever owned. I couldn't work, but on top of mortage, utilities, insurance, food on the table, etc., I had 29 medical bills that had to be paid every month. I sent each $20 bucks a month for as long as I could. Then $10 a month, and finally $5 a month till there…

Then $10 a month, and finally $5 a month till there was nothing left. Lost my savings, my home, my vehicles, ended up selling everything I had either on ebay or at garage sales. Oh, and lost my extremely good credit rating. 6 1/2 years later I still get calls from bill collectors. I tell them I would pay if I could. And if I could, I would do it in a heart beat. The shame of not being to pay my own bills is a burden that has driven me to the brink many times. And why? I got sick.

My opinion......the health care fight is like most other things in life.....the "haves" are scared shitless they may lose something. In fact all the "haves" could be lumped into a large corporation which nowadays simply means we do what ever it takes to make money for the shareholders and upper management. We got ours. we don't give a flying fig about you.<br />
NO ONE IN A COUNTRY THIS RICH SHOULD BE DENIED FIRST CLASS HEALTH CARE BECAUSE OF THEIR INABILITY TO PAY.<br />

This is not new at all. Last fall when I had my knees replaced my care in the hospital was by a group of hospitalists. The surgeon dropped by a couple of times to look at the incisions but that is all. This was not new even then.<br />
It is the hospitals that make the call on this.

From my doctor:<br />
Starting July 1, 2010 if you require hospitalization.<br />
You will be cared for by a team of hospital employed physicians called Hospitalists.<br />
Your doctor will have access to electronic medical records from the hospital.<br />
(I have no comment on this).
