Frankie":1vdkm4rn said:And, I will add, I think it's highly rude for people to insist on injecting their political opinions here when they've been asked not to do so.
Tell me doesn't this sound like a Political Opinion, Frankie calling herself rude.......lol nothing worse than a hypocrite!
Frankie":1vdkm4rn said:No. If you have a good health insurance program that you like, you can keep it. Congress has a good health progam. Why should they be forced to leave it?
Frankie":1vdkm4rn said:I'm surprised and disappointed at you, Dun. The state of Nevada (not the US government) "tried" to run the Mustang ranch.
And you're ignoring the fact that our government already runs two very successful health insurance programs: TRICARE for active duty and retired military and MEDICARE for people over 65. Both of those consistently have satisfaction ratings from their customers much higher than most private insurance companies in the US.
I think it's because of those two government programs that medical costs aren't higher today than they are. They cover so many people that they're able to "set" the standard fees that many insurance companies use to pay claims. If it hadn't been for the Medicare Advantage programs put in place a few years ago, Medicare would be in much better financial shape. But they've eliminated several of those; hopefully, they'll cut them all out soon.
Frankie":1vdkm4rn said:Business model? The big insurance companies have a great business model, I guess. If you actually get sick, they drop your coverage. The potential new government health care program won't be a for-profit business. It will be a service to citizens of the country who can't get insurance coverage.

Frankie":1vdkm4rn said:We don't have the best medical care in the world. As our costs rise, more and more Americans are taking "medical vacations" and going to other countries for medical procedures..............
We have a situation in our community now. Two elderly men (covered by Medicare) are recovering from serious health problems (cancer and heart bypass). A third, younger man who has no insurance is lying in the teaching hospital, wondering what can/will be done about his cancer.
Some people in this country may have the best healthcare available, but millions have no health care at all. And many of them die. Who supports their kids then?
20 cents of every dollar of health care premiums go to overhead for the insurance companies: salaries, advertisement, private jets for CEOs, etc.
Frankie how can you scold anyone when you do the very same thing that you preach for us not to do and go even so far as to call us rude! This makes you the lowest of the lowest, no wonder you are a liberal it fits your skin!
:roll: :roll: I responded to other people's political posts. I didn't start a single one of them. Yeah, I can be rude, too. One about has to be rude to people like you; otherwise you'll simply turn this place into another Ranchers.net.
