A fast fix for health care reform !!!

The fastest way to reform health care, is to take away all of the health care benefits that the politicians in Washington D.C. as well as in your home state are

receiving.

As soon as they stop receiving health care, you can be assured that they will find a way to provide health care for all Americans.

I would really like to know what kind of benefits they receive.

Let's put them on a COBRA plan.

The people who replied had the same questions I have, where are the anwers?????

COBRA Insurance Stinks!

My fellow Americans: I too just recently lost my job. Now I have to pay almost $600/mo to keep BC&BS though COBRA. After looking on-line at various health insurance companies, I finally applied (over the phone) for a health plan I can afford (for now). But, it's still almost $500/month. What really gets my goat: ANY ILLEGAL ALIEN can walk into any hospital in the USA and get free health care. They, my friends, just have to wait their turn. Why? ....because our government allows it. You and I, my friends, are paying for it. I have a good friend who is a nurse at one of Chicago's best hospitals. At the present time, they have six illegals getting organ transplants and guess who's paying for that? Where are our State Reps and Senators? Why is no one addressing this health care issue?

Doctors that take MediCal

I just moved to LosAngeles and I am having a tuff time finding a Doctor for my 16 year old son and me. I am 53 and I just left Boston where I had Harvard Vanguard.Some of my doctors there were not the best but it was a lot easier finding a doctor by being in a health plan. I decided I would like to pick my own Doctors when I came to LA. I have liver problems and my son has ADHD. I would like to work on getting him off the medication he has been on for a few years. I also need to be able to have the team of Doctors who will be helping me with my liver problems.Please if anyone knows of some good doctors within 10 miles of VanNuys,Ca. It would be very helpful.

I am in need of a lower health insurance plan.

I am a widow, 60 years old and have diabetes

and take several drugs each day.
