smileandnod replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"I so agree Brunetta. One of my favorite parts of Clinton's speech was when he asked what kind of country we want to live in... a "we're all in this together" society or a "you're on your own, winner take all"…"
Brunetta replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"wonderful explanation, My busgedpancreas!! Health care IS a public health issue!!And dare I get political and ask Did you see how well President Bill Clintion tackled the issues last night?.. Well. let me stop, if I can. My political leanings are…"
Trudy replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"Hi Sam. Rather than sounding political, I'm going to sound like a Star Trek time traveler: I believe that every person in the world has the right to healthcare!"
Sam Iam replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"At the risk of sounding overtly political, I tend to be a bit of a radical on this point. It becomes clearer and clearer that healthcare is a human right. Either everyone deserves it, or no one does. Sometimes I'm not sure which."
Sam Iam replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"Certainly, the health of many Romans benefitted from baths, grain allotments, irrigation, veteran care etc.
But to call this universal healthcare is a stretch, and certainly such benefits did not reach the entire empire. Doctors were slaves, mostly…"
Natalie ._c- replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"Family, community and church is a nostalgic myth. Try reading Charles Dickens if you really believe that. Or look at the history of the Donner Party. Not everyone has a family to take care of them, or the family may be too poor. And I'll leave…"
HPNpilot replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"That's a 2009 article and does not reflect the final healthcare law, which was passed in 2010. It was specifically about a plan to create a government run insurance plan.
In fact the AMA (the Doctors) support the Affordable Care Act. Read the…"
JohnG replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"Here is a AMA response to the new Healthcare law. I think it's was nay.

JohnG replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"The Romans did believe that illnesses had a natural cause and that bad health could be caused by bad water and sewage. Hence their desire to improve the public health system in the Roman Empire so that everyone in their empire benefited. – not…"
dejahthoris replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"I was hoping for people with children with diabetes to answer, as stated in my question, but I appreciate your input too:)Its interesting to get different perspectives on things. We all have something to offer from our experiences. Healthcare has…"
dejahthoris replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"I the expansion of medicaid to more people is coming in cases where the Governors refuse to enforce it. If the States won't put it in place, the Federal Govt will. It will mean more people will get free preventative services. More people will…"
Sam Iam replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"The Roman empire never had a national healthcare system."
smileandnod replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"For those of you whose families have never needed government provided health care services, I am very happy for you. My family has not been so fortunate. My brother has diabetes and is on insulin - he suffered a traumatic brain injury after being…"
smileandnod replied to dejahthoris's discussion 'HC law and pre-existing conditions.'"I think the new law is defintely a step in the right direction. Is it good enough? No, it's not. But with fierce opposition from the Republicans and lobbyists protecting profits for providers, what do you expect.
And to reverse the…"
