Much at Hospital becomes free due to the Federal Law. I have just been to Virginia Hospital Center because of Stroke. I brought my medications with me which I get from Veterans Hospital because I am Disabled Vet from WEII. Hospital would not permit those meds. They made me buy exact same under Medicare!! Rules. Worst problem in most Hospitals today is LPL. Nobody wants to talk about it but it causes much extra expense for patients and Medicare. What you saw in ER is part of cause of LPL. All hospitals are thus infected and try to fight it in many ways. Three years ago I went to the Fairfax County Clinic at 7 CCorners to get Flu Shot because my Dr ran out. There were over 300 patients waiting--I was told that most were illegal immigrants. Many had babies. That is the place that most of the people you saw in ER were supposed to go. All this kind of action in ER is the main cause of LPL. Do research!!!

He is nothing more than a puppet for the for profit health insurance companies who are at the heart of the American healthcare nightmare.. That this is allowed to happen in America is a disgrace.. Every member of government has blood on their hands for allowing the health insurance industry to pillage this country with no accountability!!SHAME ON ANY MEMBER OF GOVERNMENT WHO HAS TURNED THEIR BACK ON THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY!!!! The health insurance industry has done more harm to this country than any terrorist organization.. Yet our government allows them to exist.. Single payer needs to be put on the table!!!

]]> Comment on HitJob Book List by hermosa http://thehitjob.com/hitjob-book-list/comment-page-1/#comment-3 hermosa Sun, 26 Apr 2009 03:59:05 +0000 http://thehitjob.com/?page_id=13#comment-3 I was a bit bemused when Chavez gave Open Veins to Obama (if he hasn't already read it he probably won't start now), but I'm enormously pleased it shot to the top of the list here. Galeano is a glorious, incandescent, cruel, and heartbreaking writer - Open Veins was the first, and remains one of the very few, history books I've ever read that I couldn't put down, stayed up all night to read, and started waving in front of friends before I was even done. Is it an "unbiased" history? No. It's a corrective history, and as medicine for an all-american lifetime of Chiquita Banana + Flying Down To Rio + Those Mexican Devils, it's necessarily strong-tasting. There are no unbiased histories, remember? This is history written by the (nearly) defeated, a document of everything that was already left out once. If you think it should include the benefits of US participation in student exchanges with our Friends to the South, you're an idiot. You already got that part in the State Department filmstrip. To all you folks who just bought this (except for the Fox news interns - I assume you're just cherry-picking it for some lame scandal material) - when you're done move on to Galeano's Memories of Fire trilogy. Open Veins was just your warm-up, a really well written "history book". Memories of Fire is something else entirely, history as a hand on your face. And to all you world leaders scheduled to meet with President Obama - would one of you give him some Mike Davis next? Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World would be great. Thanks.
