Why are we in such a all fired up hurry to 'fix' health care?

My sardonic sense of humor is indicative of the state of my existence.

Do you wonder why we're in such an all fired hurry to get all of this health care "cared" for by the end of the year?

After 45 years of devoted service, my beloved my husband's company is drastically changing our cherry health care.

Oh, those premiums are increasing, we cannot increase what we put away for our spending account (maxed), but everything else is increasing as well including co-pays as a percentage of the total, our deductibles, prescriptions and what will even be covered is dramatically decreasing.

I wouldn't be worried about it except my husband is already working an additional 5-7 years past his retirement to keep me insured and has his own health issues.

Right now NO one will insure me except his company, I can't get into a plan for my small business without having disastrous expensive premiums.

My disease requires management by specialists and sometimes it is a delicate well choreographed dance with the insurance we have had just to continue to do that.

Rush asked earlier what the President HAS done right?

Well, this life long conservative believes it is long past time, and I ain't got a lot of time left, to reform insurance industry practices in this country.

But, I never forget that I am one of the few, the proud, the insured. And that is largely because I have a loving spouse who will live in a tent to make certain I am! And, sadly I'm still alive and kickin (one of my favorite 80's songs) probably because I am insured and am grateful to be.
