Do you want to have to win a lottery to see the doctor?

DR. KATE ATKINSON: I spend more time doing paperwork and less time talking to patients. And every time there's a problem, the solution is to generate another form or another hurdle that the doctors need to go through.
If you come to me and you have stomach pains, what medicine I can put you on depends upon your insurance company. I wasn't trained to say, "What's your insurance company before making a treatment decision?" And now I have to.

Here is one way to reform the Health Care system.

1. Any employer can purchase care through Medicare.

2. All Employers could purchase Medical Care from a NONPROFIT BC/BS through the federal plan at the federal employer rate. Individuals pay the employee share of premiums with the rest picked up by employers and those who are below 300% and self employed or work for a true small business of poverty receive a tax payer subsidy.

(Under option 2 Employer cost would be 600/month for FAMILY coverage. Individuals would pay about 200/month.) The self employed above 300% of poverty would pay about 8000/year vs the 12000 they pay today.)

Really that is all that needs to be discussed.

how about everyone pay their fair share and the welfare recipients and numerous other free loaders in this country find a job and contribute something worthwhile to this country other than increased taxes on everyone else.

Here and now I want to make myself clear about those who disparage their fellow citizens on the relief rolls. They say that those on relief are not merely jobless—that they are worthless. Their solution for the relief problem is to end relief—to purge the rolls by starvation. To use the language of the stock broker, our needy unemployed would be cared for when, as, and if some fairy godmother should happen on the scene.

You and I will continue to refuse to accept that estimate of our unemployed fellow Americans. Your Government is still on the same side of the street with the Good Samaritan and not with those who pass by on the other side.

An old English judge once said: "Necessitous men are not free men." Liberty requires opportunity to make a living-a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
