[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 699642, member: 13"] I'm not at all happy about my tax money supporting your Rural Electric Cooperative and Rural Water District. Or paying for the Federal highways running through your state. If you have a fire, don't you DARE call the rural fire department. Much of their equipment comes from Federal grants. And I DEMAND that you fire your doctor, accountant and CPA. They all went to public schools, funded by MY tax dollars. It makes absolutely no sense to accept water from Rural Water or electricity from RECs, or your parents using Medicare, to benefit from public education, and then scream about a health care public option. :roll: Employee sponsored health care premiums (for those that have it) have increased almost 120% over the last ten years. Those costs put our businesses at a disadvantage compred to companies in other countries that have state-sponsored health insurance. Costs increases would have been worse, except most insurance companies use MEDICARE reimbursements as their standards. Wage/income have come nowhere close to matching that increase for most Americans. Insurance executives HAVE seen a dramatic growth in their income, as they look for more and more ways to refuse/reduce payments on their policies. One company has declared celiac disease a "preexisting condition". There estimates that 1-300 Americans suffer from various levels of celiac disease! Cesarean section? Hope you weren't planning another child. It has become a preexisting condition for some insurance companies. Darn. I forgot that it's not about health care. It's about those poor folks. How dare they walk the same streets! [/QUOTE]
