Representatives passed and President Bush praised (and vowed to sign) a budget package that will reduce Medicaid spending by $4.7 billion over five years, largely through increased co-payments and premiums and reduced benefits. A report this week from Georgetown's Health Policy Institute found that the Medicaid provisions in the budget would (1) undo the guarantee that children in Medicaid will be provided medically necessary services, (2) permit states to charge families substantial new costs that many would not be able to afford, and (3) require states to impose new and unnecessary paperwork on eligible children.So, if you have very high prescription drug needs, then you will pay $3,600 a year, plus 5% more on the drugs after that, plus your premiums, which will be over $600. So it will be over $4,200 for prescription drugs only, if you have coverage and use many drugs.\n\nAdd that amount to the other premiums and co-pays of regular Medicare and it will take most of the Social Security check. Some estimate $200,000 for medical costs after retirement each and for a couple, I suppose, that could be double. Unless a couple get a discount. Most elderly Americans are proud, hardworking people and they shouldn't have to be put into poverty to pay their medical bills.  The drug companies get a lot of their research done at colleges and it is paid for with taxpayer money. The elderly should get a better deal. We should all get a better deal.

Decisions made by government regarding the health and safety of the people are extremely difficult to change through the court system.  A Supreme Court case called Lee Optical established that as long as the law regulating medical practices in particularly, and health and safety generally, has a "rational basis" for being enacted, it will stand.  This is a state medical board decision, and it would likely be granted the same kind of broad deference.  The only way you could seek to change that regulation is to petition the board, and to enlist the help of others in petitioning the board.  That's just the way the democratic process works.

methodist group insurance is a good deal cos they cover zillions of clubs, and other social organisations. Cos of the mass cover to so many the premiums are dirt cheap.

The bill has been brought before the parliament but they havn't decided yet.\n\nMost supporters of the vice prez oppose it but the prez supporters support it. Most of the state governors support it too.

Dick DeVos (r. MI) running for governor thinks that those people should just get jobs.  When confronted with the fact that over 1 million of us have jobs and no health insurance, he responded with 'well they should get jobs and that way they will lead to better jobs that offer health care'.  Guess who I'm NOT voting for?  BTW democratic incmbent Granholm does NOT advocate socialzed healthcare, but rather a pool in the state that people can buy into, that is affordable health care..  This has been successful in states that have tried this.

Since you weren't specific as to which house of congress you are interested in, I found a number of bills that are being considered by the Senate.\n\nSome of the Bills being considered include:\n\nAbortion - preventing minors for crossing statelines to circumvent parental notification; \n\nImmigration Reform / Border Security;\n\nThe "Cheeseburger Bill", - Obesity lawsuits, curb (Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act; "cheeseburger bill").\n\nClick on any of the links below for more information. The last link links directly the Senate pending bills where I obtained the above bills.
