Medical Care For Everybody - Not In The USA

Physical Therapy is very expensive and I was out of luck. But the bottom line is I needed the physical therapy so I would once again be employed.I was given a prescription and had it filled at Sam's Club. I was told it was the most reasonable place to purchase prescription medication when you do not have medical insurance. I did not need a membership for a pharmacy visit.4) HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS:Thousands of people now flock to the hospital emergency rooms for everyday medical care. They wait long hours clogging the flow of real trauma cases. It is not unusual for some people to give bogus personal information; therefore, they will never receive a bill. The hospital does require every patient show a form of identification for your file.What about the people that are honest with there personal information? They can receive a huge bill and if x-rays and lab were obtained at the time of the visit --look out.What if you require emergency surgery or need to be admitted to the hospital. Your medical bill can become an astronomical amount. If you can't afford to pay this bill you will go to a collection agency and maybe lose your home or business.211 TELEPHONE NUMBER:If you have any questions about any of the information listed above call 211. It is a wonderful new information line for just this information. The phones are manned by volunteers.WEEKLY POPULAR TELEVISION SHOWS:Have you noticed that many popular weekly television shows are now creating shows about medical insurance issues? I just watched Desperate Housewives for the very first time.

The story line was one of the housewives was divorced and she did not have any medical coverage. She needed surgery to save her life.The plot was she marries somebody immediately and that could provide insurance coverage and then later get divorced.What do you think about that? What is this country coming to?It is making honest people lie, cheat and commit fraud so they can obtain the medical coverage they so richly deserve.WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?We start by educating the public about this enormous problem and what it involves. A little bit of knowledge is very powerful.Then we start at the local, state and then onto the federal government level.WE NEED CHANGE NOW! IF THE SYSTEM IN PLACE NOW DOESN'T WORK CHANGE IT! MEDICAL CARE FOR EVERYBODY - NOT JUST A FEW.We could all move to Canada. They have free health care for everybody but what about the good old USA? The system in place right now is a joke.I wonder what kind of medical coverage the president of the United States and his family have, plus all the other government officials? Aren't we entitled to the same?One thing I can do as an individual to fight back is to write articles and to blog. I have already written several articles on varies aspects of medical insurance problems, maybe someday somebody will stand up and take notice.I hope you enjoyed my article.
