Although polls have consistently shown that just over half of Americans think the health-care system is in need of reform, a substantial majority say they are satisfied with their own insurance and care. Any hope of change will require their support, according to experts and advocates across the ideological spectrum
I think it may be finally sinking in that in order to cover the 47 million uninsured (including illegals) it’s not necessary to completely overhaul or reform what doesn’t need reforming. The fact is that most people in this country have access to competent and caring doctors. Obviously there are exceptions. Most citizens (253 million) are satisfied with their plan. Again, I’m sure there are exceptions. I had an interesting experience today at the pharmacy. Yes I have a drug plan with a 20 dollar co-pay. However, what I didn’t know is that the pharmacy I shop has a deal that certain classes of anti-biotics are free. I know that other pharmacies do the same to attract customers (free enterprise and capitalism at work). BO, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or some other Washington bureaucrat didn’t have to mandate it or pass a law to require it. I also had to pick up another medicine (prednisone, and don’t worry it’s nothing serious). I took them up on their offer to fill it with a generic (God have mercy on my soul) and it cost me 4 dollars. So, 2 prescriptions, and a 4 dollar co-pay. Go figure. Go Reform?
