hEALTH INSURANCE

I read this evening that interest me. This lady that wrote the note brought up something that really was true. When I was a kid back in the 30's - parents took care of kids instead of running to a Doctor. The story goes that my Grandmother back in the 1800's was like a frontier Doctor - set bone, etc . This lady wrote in a short write up that her folks did not run to Doctors for every little thing and took care of the family themselves. I am afraid the way the ecomony is going parents are going to have to learn how to take care of kids instead running to Doctors for every litttle thing. I read in this morning's paper a family making 2000 dollars a month could not afford health insurance. I remember 20 years ago before these big companies took over the business that buying health insurance from BCBS was 40 dollars a month and that was when BCBS was a mutual company. I believe the BCBS paid the hsopitals 80 percent and they were satified. I told some the of fellow employees where I worked that if they bought from Stock companies that the prices would go out of site and they have. It always reminds me of a company that bought out one of the Hospital- and it seemed like the first years after buying the hospital that he made over 100 million dollars because the stock went up. Even though the company was deep in debt. I could keep going in deeper about the troubles but the big corporations need to be broke up. Just think of the millions of dollars they spend to buy out the Congress and the average person does not have any idea how much they are doing. Enough Don
