Blue you hit the nail on the head that is exactly what's going on. All the Washington Senators, Reps etc are getting soooo much money and taking what we contributed to the system while working. I pay for my medicaire monthly out of retirement check and also have to pay for another policy to pay for what medicaire doesn't pay. With a deductable. And then the private insurance for dental. When I worked at one time in ICU I had to leave and this was long before this when the docs would ask who had the best insurance as they needed a ventilator so those with low income taken off. Made me sick. And it's appalling to cut the funds to doctors. When nursing a lot of Canadian RN's worked here as the system didn't work there. They earned their money and returned to their country. Bear in mind this was about 20 years ago. I worked paid my dues into the system I earned my mediciare. No pulling the plug on me. As for hospitals losing money too many illegals paying nothing. And those with no insurance using the ER for non emergencies a cold. Just my perspective. No quick fix. Phillipa
