The US health care system is a huge mess for where I sit. I am blackballed from ANY non government insurance courtesy of a genetic pre-existing condition. As to costs, the glaucoma scrip I use is half price in Canada even though the actual product is manufactured here. BTW the Canadian system is single PAYER--the Provinces--but totally independent providers--pick the doc you want. So as one option simply having Medicare PAY your favorite doctor/dentist/clinic as the full cost would actually REDUCE costs. But, hey socialised medecine that's the VA/active armed forces, and BTW the Bethesda Naval Medical Center which is the fave of most of the Congress critters. As to banks, failed auto companies not my plan, I would have let them fold.As to the energy sector, I mostly heat water in my house w/ a solar system, and I am building a solar PV system. The hot water for showers/washing dishes is not a lie, but I use less billable energy thus pay less in monthly bills. Oh, and I USE transit--no car. So, I am working for a greener planet--as you choose not to believe the scientists who warn of impending disaster if we don't smarten up, I choose not to believe the scientists on oil company payrolls who say its all bunk. You like smog? I suspect not, so why not reduce same? |
