So a couple of weeks ago i was in line at the pharmacy. there was only two people working and this one worker had been talking to the same old lady for whole time i was in line. i'm not going to lie, i was pretty irriated with this old lady? how long does it take to get your prescription and go?
get up to the front of the line and i overhear the following conversation:
"i just don't understand".
"well, ma'am if you're medication isn't covered by your medicare then you have to pay the difference for the pills"
" i need these prescriptions... i was just diagnosed with diabetes. where i am suppose to get that kind of money?"
"i'm sorry ma'am"
i glance over at her total and it reads $336.87.
now, i am cannot be categorized as pro-healthcare constituant and i'm certainly not a supporter of a bill that no one has yet to read. but when i hear and experience stories like this, i can't help but wonder. are we going to let our government stand by and do nothing to assist these kinds of people?
is healthcare a right or a privilege?
should only a select few benefit from all the vast medical research out there?
anyway, for those who care (and probably a lot of you don't) here are some pretty good articles that show the pros and cons for universal healthcare bill that was passed on sunday and signed on tuesday.
should be interesting.
in theory, it sounds great for social america and helping those who truly need help.
but in reality, it will probably dump our barely rejuvenated economy straight down the crapper.
here are some articles i found insightful.
