You do realize that pnhp.org group is/are run by individuals who want a single payer group so their data is obviously distorted.
Read the medical bankruptcy myth. Only 17% of all bankruptcies are directly attributed to medical conditions. Not 60% like what's stated in that study you quoted.
The real issue with American's is they don't plan for a rainy day. I keep an individual temporary and permanent disability plan to cover myself and my family. I have life insurance. I always keep 24 months hard cash in the bank since I've self employed.
Most people who file for "medical bankruptcy" already have preexisting financial problems. The majority carried heavy credit card debt EVEN before their medical problems arised.
Good post! I have medical problems, asthma and allergies. My asthma was at one time severe. I only make $240 a week, pay for all my medications, dealt with one asthma flare-up, visited my doctor twice, pay for all my insurance premiums, and I do it all without any taxpayer assistance. I am no where close to filing bankruptcy and I have student loans I am paying on. I am not starving either. I am actually making significant progress in getting out of debt and looking into going to school in the fall. I will be paying for school as well.
I don't want taxpayer assitance. If I need help, I will go to a charity. I don't think it is the government's job to take care of me. Just because I have asthma, doesn't mean I can't do things to help myself.
The health care bill was a victory for private health insurance companies. The system we have now and the system we're going to have in the future is nothing like the Dutch system.
The hyperventilating from the right is just ridiculous.
why is it always the right? I know many on the left that hate the health care plan, whatever you compare it to.

you are exactly what this country use to be about, I praise you
Well I guess the Dutch are going to have to cancel that multibillion dollar order for F-35 Lightenings.
Yeah, it must be nice for the welfare countries to just swipe their credit cards and buy the products that the US spent hundreds of billions of dollars and many years designing and building.
This again reinforces how reliant the rest of the world is on the ingenuity and innovative abilities of the US to develop the products these countries depends on for national security, healthcare, technological advancement, whatever.

Yes, thank God the US is never reliant on other countries' "innovative abilities."
