Putting a face to who ObamaCare will negatively impact.
I've done my share of telling people why I'm afraid of what Obama's health care plan will mean for my own well being. Reducing my medications to less effective ones, and making pain management a very difficult accomplishment.
I've been spending lots of time talking with others who are chronically ill and what the effects would be for them. Let me just say, I don't really think there are any sick people out there who want this. I've been speaking with one gal who needs a neurologist, is on Medicaid and has been waiting 6 months for a doctor. She holds no hope that things would improve with this new system and actually believes it will break the current system of care to be even less effective.
I also have a friend who lives in Wales and has the same type of arthritis in the spine like I have. She deals with socialized medicine there. She doesn't seem to have much options medically. She's on a similar biologic medication as I am, but only because she was fortunate enough to win a prescription lottery. I know she's thankful for her ability to have that medication, but it does seem like one of the other brands might be better for her and she's expressed that she feels bad for others where she is who suffer as she does who are 'not so lucky'.
The following video is of one person talking out the reality she'd be faced with in 20 years, if this plan passes. Her other video is also pretty important too.
So for now I pray that I will continue to be able to afford the healthcare I have, which helps me keep the medical treatments my doctors and I choose as best for me. And will continue to work with the doctors I have to continue the best care I can for myself for as long as I can for myself.
The following video was passed on to me by someone who was pointing out the lack of TelePrompTer aid, but what got me going was what Obama was saying.
The following is my (edited) response.
"He knows nothing about illness! I've had to go to the ER twice for Asthma, both because symptoms came on heavy and quick. I have an inhaler and rarely use it. It also is not really any different than the over the counter ones."
The problem is he and the rest of the liberals pushing this forward are so out of touch with those of us who are ill and working as best we can with the current system. The president can say that it's not going to change my healthcare as much as he wants, but the history from the countries who've gone down this route say otherwise, and even loose lipped libs have said so. There is a video going around in which Barney Frank says the best way to a single payer system is to get a good public option out there.
The following video shows how this circle wants to use this public option to wipe away choice, leaving us with a single payer system.
