Wow been gone all day and a lot has gone on. First I have Medicaire which all my taxes and contributions assured me would be there when I retire. Being age 66 I now draw the money I've contributed based on past salaries. I also pay for United Healthcare as a secondary policy to pick up where medicaire leaves off. Pay for med insurance. No one should be denied insurance due to preexisting conditions this I agee with but after many discussions with real people whom are currently working. So far their insurances have been cut and costs have risen for their care. And the trend is to cut full time jobs now to below the minimum needed to assure the employee access to company insurance. Lots of part time employees mean less cost to the employer. I talked to two owners of companies today as live in affluent area and they plan on hiring less full time and cutting hours of others as they can't afford to carry insurance for all. I always pay a co-pay for any services rendered. Always have. And I pay out of pocket for my meds as not in the formulary for medicaire. So if we adapt the European model. Will we have celexa only covered? Just an example. Pretty good discussion going on on facebook at moment. Lets take care of our own at home first before spending our money in other countries. Lets take care of our own. And Switzerland I've been there. True or not immigration to this beautiful country isn't possible unless wealthy or have a job in the country already. Can't comment on those born there. Personally since not the recommendations for for ob-gyn exams is not recommended for females over 65 recent development, colonoscopies are now being deemed not necessary that checking for occult blood is enough. And Mammograms make females nervous. Should they be abandoned as it might cause unnecessary cost if the test is negative. I'm grateful to have a great endocrinologist that will no longer accept new patients but provides excellent care to those he has. More to follow time to eat late dinner. Then do at home business to suplement my income. Phillipa
