You’re in the thick of the system Gail... and your voice should matter.
A problem with ‘health care plans’ is the people pushing them are like that monster Jonathan Gruber (of ObamaCare fame) who’s goal was to hoodwink the American people and hand us on a platter to the rip-off ‘health care Industry’...
Maybe we should set up a daily thread about this issue so WE (the people) can have input into how improvements could be made to health care. I feel Trump would value our input - while liberals only want to sell advantage to their base. And the GOPE doesn’t give a damn about us either - they’ve ‘got theirs’ which is all they care about.
It would have to include both parties.

I simply don’t have the time or energy as I did when we fought Obamacare. My fight now is PAIN and the Lies being told about Pain Meds. When 99% is Illicit drugs. You can’t get MSM, Doctors, Hospitals, ER, Politicians to change their language. PAIN MEDS is just that, Illicit Drugs are Opioids. They use the same word to mean both. CHRONIC pain is short term up to 1 yr, and has other Treatments. Where as INTRACTABLE PAIN last a LIFE TIME 10-50 Yrs. Those who were FORCED TAPERED have had so many Heart Attacks with Death, Suicides, 22 VETERANS per day, more younger ones than Seniors now. Cancer Patients can’t get their scripts filled. Ins companies have Stopped paying for Pain Meds. 50 States have passed Draconian laws. Can you imagine being 78 break a hip need it replaced or Open Heart Surgery and all you get is 2 350 mg Tylenol Tablets for PAIN?
I’ve had 4 Abdominal surgeries and it takes 14 days of at the very least 7.5 Mg NORCO before you can reach the Tylenol 600 mg 2 tablet stage.
I just had 2 manger dental surgeries 2 days of 7.5 Mg NORCO was all I was allowed, 2 weeks of PAIN.
Adhesive Arachnoiditis of the Spine comes in stages, most AA patients kill themselves by stage 2. It is the equivalent to Stage 4 Bone Cancer. There is NO treatment, No fix, only Pain Meds at 90 MG Morphine a day allow you to be able to get up and go to the bathroom. It then attacks your organs, teeth, and all you wish for is DEATH to take you. This devil’s Disease can come from bad back surgery, Spinal Taps, Nerve Blocks, and that Spinal Stimulator they are pushing is a Piece of CRAP. That Medtronics makes, along with the Pain Pump the are pushing.
I’ve only begun to dig. https://www.forthepeople.com/class-action-lawyers/medtronic-recall/
