Healthcare
Recently, I was given two prescriptions by my
dermatologist. I went to the pharmacy to
have them filled. The pharmacist asked
to check my insurance card because AFTER putting it in his system, the
prescriptions still cost around $200 EACH!
Thanks to Obama-care, we no longer have real insurance. We have to pay a $1,500 deductible before our
insurance covers doctor visits and prescriptions.
As I left, without the prescriptions, I thought, “If I were
an illegal alien, unemployed, or a convicted felon, those prescriptions would
have been free.”
This is the healthcare system that we now have – hard
working, premium paying Americans can no longer get proper health care. However, the finest health care system in the
world is offered for free to people who are here illegally and don’t pay
anything into our system.
I believe that there was nothing wrong with the system
before.
When I was pregnant with my first child 12 years ago, my
husband was working in Germany . We could not get healthcare in Germany
BECAUSE WE WEREN’T GERMAN CITIZENS. So,
I came home to the States from Germany
to have my child. Interestingly, I had
just left my job and was denied coverage under COBRA because of my pre-existing
condition – the pregnancy.
What did I do? I applied
for healthcare coverage in Ohio
under Head Start. I did receive
coverage. After finishing graduate
school, my husband and I both went back to work and have had traditional health
insurance coverage.
See? People who don’t
have coverage and truly need it can get it.
The system was working, I know because I used it!
Now, everyone has to pay more and the people who pay the
most don’t have fair insurance coverage.
It doesn’t make any sense.
Can you honestly say that it is fair to give full insurance coverage to
people who are in this country illegally?
They don’t do that in Europe . If you don’t pay into the system, you don’t
get coverage, period.
Can you honestly say that it is OK for the unemployed or
people in prison to get full healthcare coverage, but a working American can’t?
