-GOP prescription sucks...Linda, told me how she had been diagnosed earlier this year with abdominal and bladder cancer leading to battles with her insurance company.
I will never forget standing outside the chemo treatment room knowing that the medication needed to save my life was only a few feet away, but that because I had private insurance it wasnt available to me, Linda wrote. I read a comment from someone saying that they didnt want a faceless government bureaucrat deciding if they would or would not get treatment. Well, a faceless bureaucrat from my private insurance made the decision that I wouldnt get treatment and that I wasnt worth saving.
That brings me to an apology.
In several columns, Ive noted indignantly that we have worse health statistics than Slovenia. For example, I noted that an American child is twice as likely to die in its first year as a Slovenian child. The tone worse than Slovenia! gravely offended Slovenians. They resent having their fine universal health coverage compared with the notoriously dysfunctional American system.
As far as I can tell, every Slovenian has written to me. Twice. So, to all you Slovenians, I apologize profusely for the invidious comparison of our health systems. Yet I still dont see anything wrong with us Americans aspiring for health care every bit as good as yours.
They'd probably be less likely to withhold treatment than private insurance companies. CEO needs a new yacht!
hey Punk, have you ever had to use your healthcare plan for other than menstral cramps, wait till you get a bit older and see what happens
CEO only gets a new yacht if people will pay for his product.

CEO only gets a new yacht if people will pay for his product. What do you lefties think- that under a government run program there is no limit to the services you will be provided? If so- current estimates of the cost- which are a fraction of what they actually will be once the most inefficient business model known to man gets involved- are gonna skyrocket...
What is interesting is the way the health insurance debate brings out the anti-business sentiments of the lefties.
well punk, you can't be too fucking oldand have the views you have and I am certain you have never been seriously sick

People are forced to buy his product because it is the only option offered through their employer and there is no low cost option alternative. Profit is the only thing that these parasitic companies care about and I have a huge moral issue with that. They are not there to provide the service they advertise, but to make money. They are making money by denying the very thing the people are paying them for - they are playing god in order to keep shareholders happy and pay executives ridiculous salaries. Good lord, you are dense...

Moron.
The CEO of Cigna makes nearly a quarter billion over 5 years as "payment" from a company that stands between patients and doctors. Cigna has two "corporate jets" and is famous because the board of directors eat off gold plated plates and silverware. 5 of it's executives are among the top 100 highest paid executives in the United States.
Cigna is famous for voiding insurance policies of people who get sick because it's cheaper fighting them in court and hoping they die before the case ends.
That's not business turd. THAT IS CALLED A SCAM. If you skim money off insurance policies, it's called a SCAM. Oh, but it's legal. Republicans made sure of that.
How many insurance policies do you have to skim to get a quarter billion dollars?
Got it? Good. IT'S NOT BUSINESS. IT'S A SCAM.
I asked Punk a while ago if he ever used his policy, dead silence, too young but he will find out, maybe it will be too late when he wises up
