Pledge to Higher Quality, Lower Cost Health Care…Now!
Americans spend more on health care than people do elsewhere, but somehow we spend more for less.
Most of us have no clue about the actual cost of our medical care until the bills arrive, because hospitals and doctors don’t publish their charges. The cost of insurance goes up and up, with fewer services covered. Millions of Americans needlessly suffer or die from preventable medical errors and infections.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Costs can come down and quality can improve if we stop letting the insurance companies run the show, make billing clear and simple, and focus on prevention and managing chronic illness better.
You can make a difference by taking our pledge and joining our effort to make health care a top priority for our nation’s leaders.
THE PLEDGE:
I want to join with other Americans to support action, answers and accountability. It is time to:
* * Give my family security that we will have quality care when we need it at a cost we can afford;
* * Make hospitals and doctors more transparent about the cost and quality of care they offer;
* * Eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy between patients and the care they need;
* * End long waits for care;
* * Examine all solutions that will ensure all Americans access to quality, affordable care, with input from real people like me.

I havven’t seen enough to this new Healtrh Care Reform Boll that actually cover the people who makes 50,000 or less a year. The Health Care provisions seemes to cost us so much. for example, if where not working the percentage would would practically bankrupt people in that category. And could be set to erode in their health because they won’t be treated fairly due to lack of coverage. I am experiencing that now. I’m retired but I don’t have the age to receive Medicare. I am a Veteran of the Vietnam war. And because I haven’t any diresctly related wounds in Vietnam I must pay an outrage out patient care fee each time I go to the clinic. #50.00 out patient fee each time I see a doctor in the clinic. I you see the doctor or have clinic appointments that average 10 visits a month you spend 500 dollars a month. Just to be covered.You have your job’s retire health care that says 15 dollars for visits. and they charge you for every visit to doctors, and their clinics. which can put a dent in your small pension check a month. You have high rents, Gas Electric, Phone, Foods, Cable TV, Insurances for your death, now Insurances for health, the personel taxes you must pay. These are just necessities, not the luzuaries of just trying to be a part in living. What a bummer, man, what a bummer that baby boomers must pay at our retirement age we’re getting ripped off constantly. And we though our participation in the Vietnam War would scure our future in the United States. Ha, we’re fighting a war right here. Health care war, to protect ourselves. A bummer man, a bummer………
