One probably cannot afford to get sick in America unless he is financially able to pay for his own medical bills out of his own bank account.
God has blessed me with pretty good health. He has also blessed me with a job that offers a descent health care plan.
But up until the night when I got the opportunity to watch the documentary “Sicko,” I thought that I would be thoroughly covered medically with the health insurance plan that I have in place. Now, I am not sure.
It’s a scary thought to think that I could someday find myself in the position of needing medical treatment, and then discover that the medical insurance that I have will not cover me.
It is a disgrace what these insurance companies are doing to the people of America. It seems that they only are interested in insuring the people that have perfect health and do not need help.
For an insurance company to hire someone whose only job is to find loop holes in a person’s file so that the insurance company does not have to pay for their medical expenses seems to be so dishonest and deceitful. I sometimes wonder whether or not I would be better off without health insurance and just save my money and pray that I don’t get sick.
If the American government really and truly cared about all of its citizens, then I don’t understand why it cannot implement some type of health plan where everybody would be entitled to free government assisted medical care.
In Canada, Cuba, and some European countries, it has been proven that health care provided to their citizens by their government for free can work. So, why can’t America model a similar health care plan?
I recently watched a report on CNN regarding this gas crisis that we are currently experiencing. It stated that we, as Americans, should feel lucky to only be paying $4.00 per gallon for gas because in some European countries, the gas has been $6.00 per gallon for years.
Well, after finding out that they do not have to worry about getting sick and paying for medical treatment and medications, I can understand why they don’t make a big issue about paying $6.00 per gallon for gas.
The bottom line is that the American government does not care enough about its citizens when it comes to providing an adequate health care plan.
If you investigate deep enough, you will find out that it’s all about making money for these insurance companies. The best and maybe only alternative is to just pray that you do not get sick in America.

You are absolutely right on the money issue for these health insurance companies. Our health is just a business to them. The more money in their pockets, the happier they are regardless of the overall health issues in our country. Something has to change. Good post!
Lezterp pretzel, yes sir that is correct in the end sometimes all we can do is pray.
I asked myself if I would tell Congress, the President, the Corporations, and their lobbyists that they are morally wrong. I asked if they would hide behind the shades of grey provided them by our current "system". I found that agree with you. The government doesn't care.
