and feel like I'm one step closer to a heart attack. Should I hope to have a heart attack before Obama care or after?
Well...you could have the heart attack now and then get right into a hospital. Or if you wait until after Obamas Health care plan takes effect...I would buy your KFC, go put your name on the hospital waiting list. Wait 6 hours, then start eatting your KFC. By the time the heart attack kicks in it SHOULD be your turn to see the doctor...HOPEFULLY.
Under the current system after you have that heart attack your insurance company will try to drop you or raise your rates so high that you drop them.After that other Ins companies will not give you coverage due to a pre existing condition
Typical Republican stupidity.Wants a heart attack in the hopes it would prove Obamas plan to be wrong,kind of like Rush wanting the United States to fail to prove Obama wrong
You obviously dont get it. The 6 hour wait is to see your primary care physician, who then decides whether your heart attack is serious enough to warrant seeing a specialist. If it is, your wait may be 30-60 days. Of course, that wait is estimated now, before we have added another 41 million potential patients to the health care system. Once you see the specialist, he may want to do some type of surgical procedure....but there's another wait list for that...unless you're too old in which case forget about the procedure. One guy drops dead before the heart by-pass procedure, look what you saved. I could go on but this gives you a feel for Obama care. OldTrader
After everybody is covered by the Karl Marx medical academy they will next go on a witch hunt against fast food places and factory farming... first we have to all be sick as shit for a long time, with undernourished brains to boot, that makes health care really important to us and makes us so stupid we think it will work, then we have to have universal coverage, and then they won't want us sick... Cut back on the red meat to once a week and high quality like a steak, take Omega3 fish supplements, take a multi from purityproducts.com and cut out the sugar shit... drink 4 oz of Pomegranate juice a day for your heart, eat veggies every chance you get, not some krappy salad that's all lettuce... take supplements to keep your brain alive, there are a half dozen that give noticeable results in a matter of days sometimes... life is good then... then tell the marxist demomorons to shove their healthcare so far up sideways that it distends their scalps... I got all toned up with all that stuff, just spent about three months on the simulator, trading is quite easy... couldn't do it when I wasn't spending $200-$300 a month on real health care..
I am by no means a fan of Obamanomics, but this is just, to steal a phrase I believe you like to use on occasion, bollocks. In the event of emergency care, and a heart attack (or chose another malady: amputation, obstructed airway, blocked colon, ruptured appendix, etc. take your pick) qualifies as such an instance, you will not be denied care nor have to wait an exorbitant amount of time until you are seen by a medical professional. These stories of waiting for hours and then waiting a month or 2 for a followup are about non-emergency care. Attack his plan for what it is: a means by which the (un)fortunate few get to pay for another's health care. It's like that old college prank everyone has pulled at one time or another: you and your buddies go out to eat and one by one you tell the cashier that the guy at the end of the line is paying and the last guy gets stuck with the bill for buying your food. Oh, and BTW, it is those like the OP who would frequent a place known ad Kentucky FRIED Chicken (and everyone else who think that McDonalds provides 3 square meals a day) who put this strain on the system by letting themselves get to the point where they having that heart attack in the first place. Here's an idea, get off the couch, turn off the tv/computer, and go for a walk.
History shows that when a country goes "Full Commie", the socialistic system goes bankrupt and THEN you have to start over with something else. Why is it we are not smart enough to avoid this? (Personally, I think all of this mess is by design... and Obama is playing a sinister role. But half of us Americans are so blinded by the promise of "free ice cream" we can't see it.)
