the republican'ts say they don't want government between you and your doctor

[spanone]

unless, of course, you are seeking a legal abortion.

[kjackson227]

They don't want the government to interfere, but they don't have...

a problem with the insurance companies interfering when they don't allow my doctor to give me a procedure that I need and they won't cover or pay for it... GMAB!

[phantom power]

1. Or birth control.

[xchrom]

2. there's always a Limbaugh sized Butt with repubLick party people. nt

[kenny blankenship]

3. Maybe they don't think your lawyer needs to pass a bar exam and be licensed either

GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY!

[seafan]

4. Or dying a peaceful and dignified death.

So says Jeb Bush.

[harun]

5. Hypocrites.

[tridim]

6. Because for-profit Insurance middlemen are so much better.

:eyes:

[Oregone]

7. In single-payer, the ONLY thing between you and care IS the doctor

Since all billable services performed by a doctors are paid for without pre-approval from the payer.

[Epiphany4z]

8. wish they had told us sooner it would have saved a bit O time .....

ya know after all the fuss over legal abortions and Terri Schiavo who would have guessed...hmmpf..

rite now I have my insurance Co between me and my doc....I can only have what meds the IC says....only have lab work done when they say, only see what specialist they think I need,ect.......and I can count on my rates going up every January...while they cut benifits....the next time my rates go up I will have choose between my health insurance and my house. Great choice for a diabetic no?....we have cut everything we can out of our budget to keep our coverage but we are one hike away from being priced out.

[spanone]

9. and the thugs wish to keep your insurance company between you and your doctor

cause who knows better what procedures you, as a patient, need.....:shrug: :sarcasm:

[zbdent]

10. or if you're terminally ill with a very painful disease ... or if you're Terri Schiavo ...

[spanone]

11. yes, that is the classic case....schiavo

[zbdent]

12. boy, they really decided to do extracurricular work then, huh?

not like all the homework they're crying about when it comes to a Supreme Court nominee who they already reviewed a couple of times before ... and approved ...

[pnwmom]

13. How many of them are on Medicare? n/t

[bluescribbler]

14. They have no problem, though,

When it's a corporation coming between you and your doctor.

[Hepburn]

15. Excellent point....

...other than that, they prefer having health ins cos and and big pharma between you and your health care provider!

[AwakeAtLast]

16. But a third party making decisions FOR my doctor is hunky dory.

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Kansas Wyatt]

17. And that would be worse than....

DEATH MERCHANTS between you and your doctor?:shrug:

[Dramarama]

18. No government interferance my ass

[tavalon]

19. No, they just want your insurer between you and your doctor

[MiniMe]

20. I don't want an insurance claims adjuster between me and my doctor

Insurance companies try to control what care you get and what drugs you can take that are covered.

[OneBlueSky]

21. but it's okay to have money-grubbing mega-corps between us? . . .

corporations whose ONLY objective is to maximize their profits? . . . tell me why that's the better option . . .

[Solly Mack]

22. True true

K&R

[Saphire]

23. Correction: They don't want anyone between THEM and THEIR doctor.

They seem to want to be all over my doctor and me.
