My brother and I are dealing with a father that has no insurance. He is diabetic and just had a quadruple bypass. He had insurance years ago, but had to give it up when he closed his business. When he went to look for private insurance, he found out that they would not cover anything related to his diabetes because it is a "pre-existing condition." Now we are trying to get him Medicaid and we are at the whims of the Medicaid caseworker. MEanwhile, the bills keep mounting. My father is a natural born American citizen who served in the Army during the Vietnam War and is being treated worse than a criminal. All Americans should want Health Care Reform so we as a nation can have the assurance that we can go to the doctor and we can be treated without having the possibility of Bankruptcy looming. Our Private-for-Profit Insurance system is seriously flawed and by getting Universal Health Care does not mean that this country is Socialist, it means we live up to the promise that America claims to be the land of opportunity. IF we stop fighting unecessary wars, just think of the money that can be poured into Health Care and Education. America can be that beacon once again.
