TNDemo (1000+ posts) Thu Sep-16-10 02:27 PMOriginal message I am so ready for the government to take over my healthcare and deal with the doctors' offices and employers. Oh wait - employers wouldn't be bothered any more. Why business owners would not be in favor of government healthcare is beyond me. Right now I am arguing over charges with the doctor's office (who charged my HSA debit card three times instead of one), along with lots of other issues, and now I get a letter from my husband's company (where he has worked for 20 years) that I have to provide them with our marriage certificate to prove I can be on his policy. We have been married for 32 years and I have no idea where our marriage certificate is. Also have to prove our 19-year-old daughter is legally ours (birth certificate), though they have insured her her entire life. Grrrr. I know, I know - at least I have insurance. Just wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass.

Well DUmbass, maybe because we don't want to have to wait 6 months in order to get well, like every other government healthcare system in the frikkin' world!!!!ESAD, asshole!
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
When the government says NO who you going to get to change that?
Yep. Right now you can get most surgery/treatment done quickly and be billed if you don't have insurance. Sure, it's expensive, but under the care in England and Canada, you have to sometimes wait months for treatment.
