Florida Attorney General Steps Up For The People Of Florida!
Pennsylvania is working on a bill to opt out of the Federal health care.
My friends in Florida wrote a very interesting article concerning the efforts in Fl and the truth about fees and costs. Please read it.
Continue to fight against this socialist take over. Phone your Pa representatives and demand that they protect your rights and block this legislation from taking over health care in Pa.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is prepared to defend the rights and liberties of the residents of Florida when the health care bill passes. Florida is ready to file our lawsuit in Federal Court on Monday morning. We are in full support of this law suit.
This filing is to protect the rights of the residents of the state of Florida with the assertion that it is unconstitutional to mandate/force any citizen of the Unites States to buy a product from a company, ie: an insurance company.
Thank you Bill McCollum for taking the time to take this on. We are representative of many people who live in Florida that choose not to have health insurance except for catastrophic insurance and of course, insurance for the little ones.
We are responsible for our own health, have a medical savings plan and eat only organic and natural diet. We meditate and de-strees.
We are healthy people who have a great relationship with our medical family doctor, our chiropractor, our dentist and our homeopathic doctor. We pay as we go which is something that should have been added to health reform. When we pay as we go, we think twice before going to the doctor. We don't go for colds or discomforts. The relationship we have with our doctors is incredible and that is going to be taken away from us.
With our chiropractor (who we see regularly for optimal longevity and health) we have a family plan. We pay a once a year fee and that covers unlimited visits. We get a great discount because we are cash pay.
When you are a cash pay account you can get huge discounts from your doctors. This is because they can treat you, then you pay and they write a receipt.There is no one who needs to give our doctor permission, we can see whoever we want to and our doctors don't have to process unbelievable amounts of paperwork. Of course, the insurance companies don't like the folks like us and that is why they are getting this legislation through. Don't kid yourself that this is a bill against insurance companies. Far from it! I have done my due diligence by going to all of the board of directors directories of all the health insurance companies to see who sits on their boards. Really, all the house and congress had to do if they really did want to keep insurance companies in line was to eliminate the ban on selling across state borders and allowing small businesses to pool together for those rates. This stupid law about state boundaries is what keeps NAR from being able to offer all of their members a great price plan for insurance. It would also be the fastest way to get pre-existing conditions covered and prices would go down also because of competition. But insurance companies don't want that and they are getting what they want in this bill.
Nestor broke his foot a while ago. We did not even have to call our family doctor. We went straight to an orthopedic doctor. We did not have to go the hospital. Why pay the high fees of the hospital when the modern orthopedic offices have everything to treat broken bones right there. We told the doctor we were self pay. The cost for x-rays, the cast, the doctor's visits, the removal of the cast, etc- all of it- for $650 or so. The doctor told us if we had insurance it would have been $3,200.
Once a year we have our blood work done for $150 and we have mobile testing centers that come to places like Walgreen's and do all sorts of tests for a super discount.
My doctor found a small nodule in my breast. I am fine! I shopped around for the best price and well reputed radiology clinic for my mammogram and my Ultrasound. I finally settled on a price of $220 for all the requested tests! I asked them how much that would be if I had insurance, they said it would have been at least $2,400. Once a year I go for my female check up and pap smear for a total of $140.00.
Under normal health insurance of which we want no part of; our natural supplements, our silver tonic, our vitamins, our homeopathic doctor visits, our natural remedies would not be covered. I don't take any Big Pharma prescription drugs or over the counter drugs which are basically the only things that insurance covers and now John McCain is sponsoring a bill to take that right away from us also.
In Florida- all low income people can be covered under the Federal and state funded medicaid program. All children ages 19 and under can be covered by Florida KidCare. The people who are not insured choose not to be.
And Florida does that without any state income tax!
Speaking of income tax- Do you know that the IRS is going to be the enforcer of making sure that everyone gets mandated health insurance and if they don't get it, the IRS will be able to keep your refunds. They will also be able to share your private information with the Department of Human Health Services. The IRS? Are you kidding me? Are there no people here in our country that feel uncomfortable around the IRS? The IRS plans to hire 16,000 new employees each month to start doing this mandating and fining! Now that scary!
