Mohave County Republican Central Committee: Lock Me Up & Throw ...
Well the Democrats in the United States Senate gave America their Christmas gift early this morning – health care reform. Yeahhhh! Right? No!! I have a feeling this is one of those gifts we’ll all be asking to return at the beginning of the New Year, and unlike Walmart there is no return policy when it comes to the United States Government. I currently have health insurance. Well I have it for another seven days. I will no longer be allowed on my parent’s health insurance due to age starting January 1st, 2010. My employer does not offer me health insurance because I am not considered full time. So the only other option for me is to go and get my own health insurance. I do admit health insurance is expensive, and denying someone coverage because of pre-existing condition is ridicules. So yes in that since health care does need to be reformed, but it needs to be done so in a fiscally responsible and intelligent matter. What the Senate just passed is neither of those two things. I went shopping for my own health insurance about a month ago. It was going to cost me around $130 dollars a month which is something I can afford. I was all for it until I saw what it covered. It covered nothing!! It covered 20% of all medical expenses occurring through hospitalization, doctor visits, labs, etc etc. Why would I want to pay $130 dollars a month for a health insurance plan that covers in my opinion NOTHING! I don’t get sick that much (knock on wood). I am one of those people who believe most sickness is mental and in your head. I don’t believe in medication (except Tylenol of course). So why would I want to be paying $130 dollars a month for coverage that I probably won’t use much and that pay nothings! So I have decided to be one of many Americans and start the New Year without health insurance. Because to get health insurance that currently pays for anything and is worth while costs upwards to around $300 dollars a month
