This video is from MoveOn.org take on health insurance companies. You can find it at Funny or Die but I saw it at Pam's Coffee Conversations.
I'll keep saying this, I don't want health insurance reform. I want health care access and reform. I'd prefer a single payer option.
It seems this is gonna be a knock down drag out fight for the most minimal coverage Americans can hope to get.
I'm still working my way back to positivity so, go figure. I also have a cold. Not the flu. I am one cranky woman at this point.
Scuze me while I swig some NiteQuill.
Tort reform is not the issue. A lawyer will always find a way to protect his/her interests.
ReplyDeleteThis is about access and providing health treatment. The insurance companies had 20+ years to provide that kind of competition and competitive products.
They had no interest in do so.
I got a story for you. Check out this story from the Denver Post and then tell me that Tort reform would have prevented this situation:

Breast-fed 4 month old baby denied insurance coverage for "obesity"
pre-existing condition.
Let me help you out on this one, babies are supposed to gain weight. That is what they do.
Single payer preferred, cut out the insurance companies period.
I have a cold, too, not the flu. Made some delicious chicken soup. Wish I could share some with you.
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
Health care access. Proactive - health care, not just illness/disease care. Single payer. I'm with you.
I should add this ad to my collection of funny insurance commercials. Will Ferrel does a pretty good job and the whole commercial is pretty well played and edited. I'm not sure I agree on the topic but if I started talking about that it would end up being a 2 page comment..lol. Thanks for sharing the video.
