One things I didn't mention but should have. Those HMO's promised her all drugs medications free.... no minimum payment when at the Dr. office (co-pay) and lots of great inducements.. But the Dr. list is meager and the hospitals can turn you away.

That's a sad story. I do think that everyone should do some serious research before signing up for any plan....especially when it concerns something as serious as healthcare. Sooner or later we all will need healthcare.

My fear is that this is the health care you would get if the government runs health care. If you can find me one thing government manages effectively I might change my mind but at this stage government managed health care should be feared more then the devil. I'm not saying what we have is perfect but I have 0 doubt it is worlds ahead of anything those bozo's in DC are going to come up with. Walter Reed is government run health care with rats running the hallways by the way. As a disabled vet I'm all to familiar with government health care. There is a saying in that there are 2 ways to give your life for your country, go to war and be killed in battle or check into a VA medical center.
