Veronica De La Cruz: A Personal Fight for Health Care Reform

It is with the heaviest heart and through many tears that I share this story. My fight for health care reform is a personal one, and one that I feel I need to share.

On July 4, 2009, I lost my brother and my only sibling Eric Alexander De La Cruz. He passed away while awaiting a heart transplant. Five years ago, he was diagnosed with severe dilated cardiomyopathy, a weakening of the heart that… » Full Story on Huffington Post

Go to the following to see the Republican plan:
http://blunt.house.gov/Read.aspx?ID=1140


It
allows for better coverage for the poor but still allows for America to still have the best healthcare in the world. The plan in the above link keeps the inefficient government (DMV, medicaire, and SS anyone?) from getting in the way of the best healthcare system the world has ever known and makes it even better by providing more for the poor and disadvantaged. Give this plan a look you greedy ultralibs who really don't care about the poor. America is watching you and if you want to keep your jobs you better look at the better solution to anything you have proposed.

Stating that private insurance options will still be available is a deceptive ploy by Obama to push socialized medicine through. If Obama gets this through start watching your relatives and eventually you die unnecessarily early because they/you can't get immediate care. This is no scare tactic because its already happening in England among other countries. Obama is lying. Go and look at "Video: The Public Plan Deception" at http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/12/video-the-
public-plan-deception/
and see actual video of Barack Obama himself so you can see for yourself that Obama is trying to ram this terrible plan through via deception.

Oh please! If she had REALLY wanted to get the job done, her brother could have left his job and been classified 'impoverished' and when his condition was classified "life threatening" he could have had the surgery right away. They just didn't want to get rid of their assets. Millions of illegal aliens are sponging off the hospitals and ERs every day. I know because my disabled friend and I have seen it firsthand.

very sad when you're turned away and ending up losing a loved one because you can't afford health care, where's the moral ethics that the doctor's took when they promised to save a life no matter what?

Health care wouldn't be nearly as expensive to provide if everyone had coverage, and could afford to take off work to get it. Little things can sometimes add up to big medical bills if treatment is delayed; a good example is cancer. Congress, quit arguing about what the best plan is, and get something in place! You can tweak it with the savings on emergency care and nursing home care [think of all the disabled people you stick in nursing homes because community care is not fully funded - it's much cheaper to care for folks in their homes]. Yes, we all have to share health care, but preventative care pays for itself. We cannot ethically put a money value on human life.

Preexisting Conditions And Obamas Health Care Horror Story Lies:
Health care companies don't deny you care when you let them know about a preexisting condition, they simply charge you more.
On the other hand when you lie about preexisting conditions you violate the contract and you get coverage denied, as you should since you are cheating them and your lies will cost me and others more.

-The
woman denied care because of a preexisting acne problem she did not tell of was actually denied due to a failed to report a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately..she lied.
-The IL man obama said died due to canceled coverage due to an undisclosed case of gallstones, the man did lose ins. got it back retroactively and had treatment his family says kept him alive for 4 years!

Whats 230 Pages & Saves $
The GOP healthcare plan is 230 pgs & will save $65 billion a year in health care costs, per congressional budget office. Democarat plan is over 1900 pages long, will cost over 1 trillion dollars, unionize health care & result in the govtl takeover of 17% of the economy
GOP plan will lower health care premiums by 9%, establish universal access programs to guarantee access to affordable health care for those with preexisting conditions, eliminate junk lawsuits, prevent insurers from unjustly canceling a policy, encourage small business health plans harnessing the power to pool plans, encourage innovative state programs, allow americans to buy insurance accross state lines, promote healthier lifestyles, enhance health savings account & allow dependents to remain on their parets policies until age 25
To se the bill that makes sense & 1 you can read, see

Supposedly there are 50,000,000 in U.S without healthcare but Per THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICES own numbers, lets look at what that consists of to determine if we need an overhaul.
1st, nearly 10,000,000 of that number includes people who are not citizens.
2nd, roughly 17,000,000 of the people classed as uninsured live in households making $50,000 or more a year and can technically afford to buy health insurance but choose not to.
3rd, 45% of all of the "uninsured" will be insured again within 4 months who then get insurance.
In conclusion, there's no crisis need for nationalized or governmental healthcare.
Real tort reform, the kind trial lawyer loving Democrats have fought for 50 years, is what will bring costs down.
We should deport illegal's who turn up for health care.
Cobra expansion or minor subsidy would address the short term needs.
Those earning over 50k who don't buy it should not be aided for their own stupidity or choice.
