I am sick and tired of this medical system and this society (USA) that allows people to die because they don't have as much INSURANCE for medical problems. I have seen for myself that FRIENDS die at a young age because the insurance companys WON'T PAY FOR PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT. I had my best friend, Laura die of CHF and Cellulitis because of this. The hospitals put so many people I know in for so little time, and some had to go into rehabilitation, which THE INSURANCE companies wouldn't pay for. Oh, some do-if the have Medicare. Medicaid-forget it. HMO'S-forget it.My other girlfriend died yesterday because she was in a coma, came out of it, put in hodpital for two days, and let out. She died a few days later. I grieve, and my anger at this system that steals peoples' dignity away because of the almighty dollar. Only a few hundred control this country. This is the only 'civilized' COUNTRY THAT dosen't have UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. I am very ill because the HMO's WOULDN'T PAY FOR A LIFESAVING PROCEDURE. When these insurance CRIMMINALS meet their makers, I wouldn't want to be there.I grieve for DIANE,55 years old, who died because she was poor. SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE. Please, dear readers, if you have a chance, please see 'SICKO' by Michael Moore. It is a moving and even funny documentary about real people and real lives.

In the future we are going to see more people refuse medical treatment in lieu of palliative care just because the cost is prohibitive.
I read today of a family who was unable to pay their health care monthly premiums of 1,370 dollars. The inability to secure affordable insurance forced the husband to join the Army. He will be leaving a sick wife alone at home to care for their 3 children. Thank God the husband was young healthy and joining the military was still an option. We need affordable health care and medications. I take very little medication but one prescription is over 160 dollars to fill. Needless to say, I do not take my medication as prescribed.
