Marie,

I sympathize with your issue. As you stated, Obamacare isn’t the answer... but we do need a solution. Personally, I would rather each state set up a direct healthcare-welfare program where their 5-10% chronically-ill uninsured could simply be taken care of by the government paying into a high-risk pool than see what has been done to us under Obamacare. It would be much more efficient in terms of stream-lining the system and much more targeted in getting care for those who truly need it and can’t afford it. In the end, it would save money over the bureaucratic approach we take to every government solution today.

May God bless you and your family.

I would agree with this. I also thing that EVERY PATIENT must pay something for each doctor's visit and test. Even if it's only $10-20. This would cut down on abuse of the system, but be low enough that family or charities could help out.

And yes. I believe that this includes Medicaid, Medicare and TriCare. FREE medical care is a disaster.
