Health insurance....

So a few weeks ago I battled with our health insurance company... and today as I read the mail I have figured out why they just couldn't seem to get Mikes medications here in a timely manner... They are no longer going to cover his meds... but instead BCBS has found some other company (which from what I read in the very small print is related to the last company) to handle "speciality medication"... so what does this mean??? who knows the letter was vague, written in small print and full of double speak... I guess I will have to make a few calls and figure out how to navigate a "new" provider.

Our glorious president has been pushing health care reform down our throats for months now. But the average person can't seem to get a straight answer on what this reform will do to the middle class... I suppose those who don't work or can't afford health care can't help but want reform. But those of us who have made the right choices, woke up every morning weather we wanted to or not and pushed our way to work what does this change me to us??? Seems to me that if this reform does not include a clause that those sitting in congress and the senate will have to be put on this "new" insurance program then how good can it possibly be??? Do I want my rates to increase to cover those who don't have insurance? Do I want my taxes to increase to cover those that choose not to work??? Do I really want to give people one more reason not to hold a job??? I think not. Less government is the answer. Survival of the fittest--Our country was not founded on handouts... wasn't the American Dream all about hard work???

Yes, and now Pres. Obama has asked for a 'push' to be decided by Chrismtas.

We need to get on the horn and start calling our reps!
