| Pilgrim.D User ID: 66954576 United States11/10/2015 11:08 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising…there is this question of how we’re going to pay for the programs. The year 2025, the year 2030, something is going to have to give…. …. We’re going to need more revenue…Surely it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well.. We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes… on the middle class, maybe a value added tax…And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits . So the snarky version…which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this. " Quoting: Laura Bow More at [link to www.breitbart.com] It's ALWAYS raise the taxes. They NEVER talk about bringing health care cost under control. For example: I have an unfortunate condition in my eye that requires a shot in my eye on a frequent basis. The drug cost for the injection itself is about $150 They charge about $500 for the room After adding up incidentals, the cost is over $850.00 WTF??? How about $25 for the shot and that's it? Why, on God's green earth, should a stupid shot cost $850?? They should put their effort in controlling medical costs, and that would fix 99% of the problem. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72567845 United States07/20/2016 11:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If "society" has gotten to be so expensive that we need "Death Panels" - well it's time to change our society. Why does healthcare and the dentist cost so much? I just paid $990 for a cap on my tooth. Just a few years ago I paid $200 for the same cap on my tooth. WTF?? I want away from "society"- we need to just start our own little cities where costs are back to what they are and we just trade things and all work to support each other. Love one another. And- ALL drugs are legal. Someone gets sick- let them use what helps them to keep going. I hate our society! I really do and I hate technology. I would much rather be social for real then talk on this computer! It sucks the way things have changed. Way worse! |
