Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 The whole problem is that the government borrowed money from social security to pay for other programs, and they never paid it back, and now all hell is breaking loose and the social security system is going broke.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Very true, but still, any time you have a chance to accomplish a new skill, DO IT! I've lived with generous friends when I was destitute after a divorce -- that happens more than we realize! I have also made sure my destitute friends have had a home as long as they needed it; it's important to help one another. THERE ARE ONLY TWO POSSIBLE FUTURES FOR THIS PLANET: A NON-NUCLEAR ONE, OR A CANCEROUS ONE Re: Scared Colleen, That is awesome that you have had that opportunity and support! Awesome. Keep in mind many here, don't have, or has had, as a favorable life such as yours. MaC MsTigerHawk wrote: P.S.

Colleen abijann <no_reply > wrote: Have any of you seen that movie, Sicko, Yet? I haven't Were are a country of people who are continuely scared. We are scared of what will be taken away from us next. We are scared of having no security in our lives at all. Medical care is so high that even if a person makes top dollar, they still cannot afford to have health care without having an insurance. A bill you get from one surgery can wipe out the total savings of people who worked a number of years for it. Someone explain to me why a patient receives a bill from the provider themselves and they will charge the patient $1000.00 and the cost is set in stone. While the insurance negotiates with them and they accept the cost of only $100 and consider it paid in full. People are forced to buy health insurance because of this negotiation. To just try to get a cost down somewhere into a normal range. The insurance, because they pay most of what is left...say $80 out of the hundred mentioned...then take over telling you what kind of care you can have, who you can see and who you cannot, and because they are given this power...lord it over you and place you in a position of being at their mercy all the time. They are abusing that power over and over and the ones who are suffering are the patient and the caregivers. It seems strange to me that all providers will not accept payment from all insurances. They will accept the regular Medicare plan, but if you are in an Advantage plan, they won't accept that. Why!!!!! ( because there is a negotiation going on as to how much money each of these parties will accept or lose... They have made it into a battle of negotiations...just like a war) What happened to the days when you could go to any doctor you wanted and any hospital that was needed and just present your card and you never had to worry if they would accept it or not? Now they got patients and caregivers going to doctors and hospital begging them to accept the plan so they don't lose them taking care of them and maybe place their loved ones life at great risk. Unless they stop all this negotiations...nothing will be right with our health care system. It has the patient constantly running scared of losing their doctors or hospital from one year to the next as their health plans are change constantly by the employer they have them through...they worry about who they are to go to when the insurance is in negotiations which can cause a lapse of care when they are told that the place who is doing the procedure won't take the insurance which puts those who are the most sick, at risk. They think that everyone can sit around and wait till all these negotiations are taking place without having the needed medical things they need to have done then. Expecially when it takes a week of negotiations to have the test done there because it is the only place that does that test that isn't in another country to get to. People are scared of losing their job. There are no jobs out there except ones that pay pretty much nothing with no benefits and it is taking them applying for two jobs to feed the family. Women used to always be in the home raising their children and going out to work was an option (not a requirement)...but they are no longer. It takes two incomes coming in to meet all the taxes and bills now. They don't want to cut back on taxes...so the children grow up without their parents. I got a survey the other day from our county asking about where they thought we should spend money. It costs money to send out that survey (guess whos money) and it was mostly to see if we needed more parks and recreational areas. I felt like filling it out and telling them we need more people to run the place ,that would look at more serious and needed areas for that money...like helping those who are sick pay their bills so they don't end up on the streets and have to live in those parks areas....that is if they don't kick them out of that, too. It is really becoming so sad that there is less and less peace that the elderly and those who are sick have. The times when they should be able to sit back and enjoy what life they have left...they are being tortured in a very cruel heartless way. And because it is done by those that have money, they can get away with it.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 If you read the wikipedia article on social security it really does explain a lot. Especially with the budget portion and how it plays into it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29 Also, there is another possibility for our planet...harmony.
