The first article was entitled “The babies born in hospital corridors: Bed shortage forces 4,000 mothers to give birth in lifts, offices and hospital toilets” and was written by Jenny Hope and Nick Mcdermott in the August 26th edition of the Mail Online.

The second article was entitled “Man collapses with ruptured appendix… three weeks after NHS doctors ‘took it out’” and was written by Daniel Bates in the August 26th edition of the Mail Online

Both articles describe the deplorable condition of the English National Healthcare system and should be a warning to us all of possibilities that a US national system might follow the same path that the Brits have followed.

I find it very interesting that your organization started sending me these emails without any solicitation from me. Now that you realize I am not on “your” team and actually post remarks on your website that are contrary to your agenda you try to get me to un-subscribe…just like a democrat to try to silence the voice of the truth. No I won’t unsubscribe, please keep me on your member list, keep sending my your propaganda lies. I love looking at your site blogs…so many people respond against what you are saying, I love it! Freedom of Speech! The difference between you and me and all of the others that speak out against your point of view…we aren’t paid for our time of effort (Momsrising.org should be ashamed of what it tries to propagate, you don’t sound like moms at all, you’re probably a bunch of crusty old geeks that pay a few women to front for your Neo-Marxist agenda).

I have a child with autism and with the proposed plan he will not be covered. He is considered unproductive to society as elderly are. I think as moms you would want quality. I have fought very hard for all my son’s treatment and means to pay for it. As I mentioned, we need some modifications to our current system but this is not it!!!

Moreover, the proposed plan will mandate vaccines. The last time I checked I am my son’s mother, I should be the one who decides what type of treatment or medical care he receives not the government. In addition, the HC plan also has provisions that dictate that we “MOM’s” will have a social worker come to our home to TEACH US how to raise our child! Now come on… are we in Russia or China. Think this out. I know many of you do not have insurance but do you want the Government to dictate when and if your child receives services or a liver or kidney.

Once they are in the picture the Government determines everything.

Think and pray before speaking so quickly… There is no such thing as a FREE lunch. Everything comes with strings!!

Many Blessings….

Cuba may have a longer life expectancy, but what a curse on the poor Cubans to beliving longer under a hellish dictatorship in extreme poverty.

According to the CDC, the 5 leading causes of death in the US are diseases of the heart, malignant neoplasms, cerebrovascular diseases, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and unintentional accidents. A significant number of Americans are overweight, practicing poor dietary habits, and not excercising. This has a big impact on our nation’s deaths due to heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Smoking plays a big role as well in deaths due to heart disease, cerbrovascular disease, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Interestingly, the CDC reports that the death rate in the US due to the top 5 causes of death are actually trending downward 2-5% from previous years with the exception of chronic lower respiratory disease. If Americans are not living healthy lifestyles, the only explanation for the decreasing deaths is due to improvements in the way our healthcare system treats these diseases.

M Mortenson’s experience with government healthcare in the US (i.e Medicaid) is very common to those who have had both commercial health insurance and Medicaid. The benefit structure of the Medicaid program is governed by federal and state laws. Those who have had commercial insurance are surprised to find the Medicaid structure as being rigid, inflexible, and heartless. Many members needing services not covered by Medicaid are forced to plead with politicians who are helpless to help them unless benefit laws are changed. Fortunately, there are compassionate care programs and grants from for-profit companies in the pharmaceutical industry, hospitals, advocacy groups, etc. who can help these people. Medicaid also suffers from being excessively wasteful and mismanaged. Many state budgets are forcing Medicaid programs to find ways to become more efficient by contracting with health insurance companies and managed care organizations who do a better job in improving quality HEDIS measures by ensuring the right services to the right people at a more efficient price.

No disrespect intended, but I’d just like to point out that Cuba has a higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality rate than the U.S. does…if you would please be so kind as to explain how a socialized system could possibly be any worse than the clearly inefficient privatized system that we have, that would be very helpful right now. As it stands, the insurance companies are not competing, almost 50 million Americans are uninsured, many more are under-insured, and many of those who ARE properly insured have to fight tooth and nail just to have their treatments covered.

Please read the bill then explain to me how such massive government infrastructure and personal interference in our lives and finances will help America.
