The reform of the health care and Pre-Boomer

When I reached 65 and Medicare kicked in and figured there was no need to worry about the future of doctor and hospital bills. My health was good and still is, but I had the luck of the nagging feeling of healthcare insurance situation was too good to be true. Is beginning to look as if My hunch was right.

The first problem I faced was certain doctors balked on Medicare under, so I had to find the right PPO. In addition, some hospitals in Los Angeles no longer accept major insurance plan as supplemental coverage I. From which My contributions continues to escalate; This includes prescription plan. Thank goodness I was locked in long-term care insurance, which I hope will never need to use. However, until recently, I felt a combination of all of my plans would see me through the rest of my life.

Now is an indication of the strong Government intends to pass the health care plan designed to make sure that everyone is covered. I have seen in California first hand as those without insurance use emergency rooms, health clinics, because rights cannot be turned away. Of course, in a perfect world everyone would cover health and College of education and the House and car and. ..

See for those of us born. in the years 1930-1945, the problem is that we may be denied treatment, in case someone else may have it.

There are red flags Waving each step, but the Administration is insistent in pushing something as soon as possible. All other expenses on stimulus packages, bailouts and a few wars in progress, it seems reckless to move too quickly on something as important as health care. But a lot of people have expressed concerns about other programs, big budget, which Congress pushed without our elected representatives have read invoices that engage much less in a broad debate.

We cannot let it happen again, particularly in the case of this may be a matter of life and death to the pre-boomers. Read up on health care, you're representatives in Washington know what as i don't like about the various components of possible legislation. Most importantly, do not wait until it is too late. There are some pre-boomers 40 million, let our collective voices to be heard.
