Do
you think countries such as Canada and the U.K., for instance, have better health
insurance programs through their governments than we do?
I
know one thing -- anything is better than our current system. Pet insurance is
better than some of the health insurance programs being offered. Should I bark
and wag my tail?
Where
do your specific concerns lie in regard to the general health-insurance crisis
our nation is facing?
Well,
children should be covered for medical, no matter what. People should be provided
with better health screenings and better communication with their doctors. This
would provide for early detection of a potential disaster. People need a better
support system. We should be able to say "cancer" and "hope" in the same sentence,
without worrying about what our insurance will pay -- or not pay.
What
do you think the public should do in order to help change some of the insurance
guidelines?
Everyone
should write a letter to their senators. Call them. We are in desperate need of
better health care. Write to your local representatives and tell them what your
specific needs are. Everyone should do it without exception. Get your paper and
envelope and I'll lick the stamp for you.
Medical
insurance and pharmaceutical companies are sometimes not in sync. Can you talk
about your feelings on the high costs of needed medicinal drugs?
First
of all, why does it have to be so expensive in the first place? Can we not take
the human being into consideration before the bill, for a change? Insurance companies
should consider why we pay for health insurance in the first place. Americans
have never been so afraid for their health because of the high prices of health
care. The system is scaring us sick. |
