Lack of health insurance now more lethal

Posted by Glenn SR | | Posted on 1:26 PM



"A study published online today estimates nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance. That figure is about two and a half times higher than an estimate from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2002."- Harvard study finds nearly 45,000 excess deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage | Physicians for a National Health Program (view on Google Sidewiki)

I like the GOP's ideas. Number one, ban tax payers funded abortions,expand medicaid to cover the poor who can't pay on their own,limit insurance company's right to cancel policy's,open the market across state lines making more competion,cut fraud by not renting equipment ,lax laws covering private care homes allowing care givers to have more ... Read Moreresidents.Give tax credits to home owners that build living quarters for loved ones.Expand home health. Build adult day care next to child care centers, so we can drop off mom and the baby and go to work. Tax breaks for people staying home with parents to keep them out of nursing homes. Expand PRESCRIPTIONS FOR LEXAPRO because a deep emotional depression could be on the way.Love your neighbor like you love you self and help each other.No public option, No in your face mandate HC, No government involvement in my healthcare.Pray for national security,because this will be the way they push this through.

Lucy you have some very good ideas. Especially expanding Medicade to cover the poor, I assume that goes for the unemployed as well.

Just curious, what is LEXAPRO ?

Ann, you are absolutely right The Health Care Problem is certainly nothing new. For the majority of the past 40 yrs & also within the past 10 yrs the Republicans had control of both Houses and the White house. They had ample opportunities to fix the problem that they allowed to turn in to a crisis for the American people. After FORTY YEARS of wasted opportunities . It's time for the the Repugnants nay Sayers to take the back seat.

People are dying at 122 Americans per day because they lack health insurance. I was almost one of them.
