Medical Bills Driving Most Middle-Class Bankruptcies

Michael Moore's Oscar-nominated documentary "SICKO" (AARP should endorse this movie for all retirees because of the high ratio of illnesses) addresses the failing health care system in the United States; this movie should be required viewing for any family less than multi-millionaire status.

The problems in the health care system range from the well compensated pharmaceutical lobbyists and high cost associated with physician care (or the lack of) that we experience either directly or through someone we know - to the mounting reckless abuses suffered in hospitals across the country; American consumers are doomed by the endless demands for money, and more money, with minimal regard for adequate medical attention. The bills can be just as endless as the search for adequate health care that the middle class can afford.

IF THE GOVERMENT DOESNT DO SOMETHING SOON TO MAKE HEATH INSURANCE COST GO DOWN WE AS A COUNTRY ARE GOING TO BE IN BAD SHAPE. EVEN IF YOU HAVE HEATH INSURANCE AND LOOSE YOUR JOB YOU MUST PAY DOUBLE FOR COBRA AND WAIT 3 MONTHS OR LONGER TO GET INSURANCE AGAIN.I HOPE PRESIDENT OBAMA KEEPS HIS WORD AND FIXES A EXTREMELY BAD PROBLEM WITH HEATH INSURANCE.MY COMPANY JUST RAISED OUR PREMIUM AND CO PAY AND ONLY PAY A PART OF MEDICAL PRCEDURES.THIS IS CRAZY BOTTOM LINE IS MORE MONEY LESS COVERAGE.
