Hello Care,

Medicare and medicaid help the old and the poor, no need for this program to help the middle class who can afford to pay for insurance and drugs. It is a wastefull program that offers no additional help to those who really need it, just a hand out for those who don't really need it.

Still as clueless as ever huh Toby ?

How does the pill bill apply to the middle class who are not poor or elderly ?

NO US, you are clueless. that is who the bill is suppose to help. How can you continue to be so uninformed?

Hmm, never saw anything indicating I could get the pill bill benefits, just those poor and elderly. :readit:

The poor and old are taken care of already with the current programs. Try again US and learn something.

Toby I will never be as self assured as you are. smarter and more correct perhaps , but never as self assured.

Why was there all the rush to get the seniors enrolled in the pill bill then. Or doesn't Rush talk about that ?

toby

US you missed the point. I agree with you, the bill sucks! I agree it sucks for a different reason, but can't we just agree the bill sucks? LOL

toby

I would like to see it gone.

Jarod, I had wondered about that. Yeah I had pretty much given up on him on the old site. How does the ignore poster thing work on here ?

Toby,
So why was the pill bill properly known as the medicare prescription drug bill ?

uscitizen
08-09-2006, 11:37 AM
Gonna debate now or just whine and slime toby ?

toby

To make it sound better. It is called politics. The bill still sucks.

toby
08-09-2006, 11:41 AM
I agree with you US the bill is poor. Lets get rid of it.

toby
08-09-2006, 11:42 AM
Will you agree to oppose this bill and ask for repeal? I will.

toby
08-09-2006, 11:42 AM
I have sent my congress people email asking for repeal. Have you?

Review your posts Toby, you have flip flopped around this subject more that a fish in the bottom of the boat.

Hi USC. Nice to "see" you.

Why haven't you put toby on your ignore list yet? He's a worthless troll, and a waste of time.

uscitizen

Thanks cypress,
Well I guess I had a rouge optimistic thought there that perhaps Toby had become a bit more enlightened. Going on mental ignore list now, will see how the official ignore list works as well.

Like hell it is. I just got through the hole to the catastrophic coverage. Now I pay 2% of retail, but am already out of pocket $3600. Without the coverage my annual cost would be close to $11,000. I have been told by several insurors that I am uninsureable for less than $1500 a month in pemiums.

The pil bill is a giveaway alright, but it ain't to the middle class. It's to the drug and insurance companies, both big Bush donors.

uscitizen

Yep, the Bush admin specifically said no bargaining for lower prices with the drug companies.
I pay over half of what you were quoted for fairly poor insurance Zoom. And it is thru my employer :mad:

When my health coverage was through my wife's employer, my premiums were just over $500 a month. It was okay coverage, but the premiums were ridiculous. The $1500 a month quote i got was garbage. And since there are no medigap coverage policies for disabled people under 65, Medicare is all I have. Part D (Rx) we all know is cheesy, but A and B are excellent. I get a lot of little bills, and my back surgery cost me a little over a grand, but my A & B premiums are under $100 a month, taken out of my SS check. My out of pocket expenmses are less with Medicare than with Anthem BCBS. And the GOP would love to scuttle SS and Medicare. The scumbags. People like me would get screwed royally and forced to choose between medicine and food.

Does anyone here see the inherent fault with the system? Costs are high because of what? Ultimately it is the cost of care that is the issue. Now who can tell me why costs are high?
