I don't understand how a country that claims to be free and democratic, can allow it's residence the humiliation of having to suffer at the hands of greedy insurance companies.
The idea of having to wait to see if I need a medical proceedure (MRI, for example) is ludicrous! If I need a proceedure, my doctor gives me a referal (and yes they are required otherwise every hypocondreact(sp) and his brother would be wanting proceedures done, clogging up the whole system), I go to the office or building where it's done, either have it done that day or book an appointment AND. IT'S. DONE. PERIOD. No waiting to see if it's approved or not.
From what I can understand, the government option that President Obama is suggesting is for the 50 or so million Americans who don't have proper health insurance. And if the big companies don't like it, then they better make themselves more appealing to the public.
