I am amazed that he took this position. I am glad as well as I probably will be eligible for the medicaid coverage. I am an unemployed grad student. I hope it will be an easy process to get signed up.

A Republican Governor who can actually think.

I’ll bet he ends up on Karl Rove’s hit list the next time he comes up for re-election.

A few weeks ago, you had replied to me because you thought that I identify with the GOP and the rest of the right-wingers.
I hope you know now that I would never do that. I am firmly on your side but I no longer identify with any current party.

I’m not afraid to call a spade- a- spade simply because of ideology. I feel more emotionally and politically liberated than I ever have. It has helped me to see everything in a more honest perspective. Remember, though I don’t know you , you are my friend and I won’t turn my back on you or anyone else who’s views I agree on but I will point out things that none of you have thought of or at least mention. Have a great day sigrid28.

Your posts contribute to a vital discourse, necessary in a democracy, especially at a time when sound bytes and talking points threaten to bring healthy discourse to a standstill.

This is simply common sense. The idea of cutting hospice services, etc., to fight Obamacare is about the sickest thing I have ever heard.

All the politicians have something to gain from this.

Ohio needs to find somebody better for all of its voters–in the long run.

You’re only one example of a system gone mad. I know you appreciate where i’m coming from. I think this new system is going to hurt more people than it will help. Obama either keeps misinterpreting everything we’re trying to tell him or he is maliciously and willfully ignoring us. Probably six of one and half dozen the other. I’m also sure that he owes some really big favors to some very wealthy people as all politicians do. Keep in touch with me Michael because there is so much more to say but I have to cut it short right now due to a prior engagement. We’ll talk again, until then, keep up the fight.

Keeping it For Profit is going to ruin this country. There are no checks and balances over these profiteering bastards.

A simple colonospopty (wrong spelling) out of pocket is roughly around $3600. I paid about $165 only because I’m on Medicare in which case I pay co pay towards united which covers the left over Part B & D. But, still co pays and out of pocket left overs can be expensive.

Yes, they have a plan where you pay in installments. Not much help here because by the time you’re done paying it off, its double.

Yes, I got better healthcare now than I ever did when I was working. But, these medical bills I see, which are being paid by Medicare and partly by myself are outrageous. They’re out of control.

Yet, these doctors, nurses, medical suppliers and other suppliers are just keep raking in the dough. And, of course, you know congress isn’t going to do a thing to stop it either.
