President Obama's Health Care Plan
63
Poor People Can not Afford A Doctor
There is a lot of opposition about President Obama's health care plan and the bill that will allow everyone to be able to have sufficient and affordable health care coverage. I do not claim to know all the details about President Obama's health care bill but what I do know is, "America must take a proactive approach to ensure that everyone is provided with sufficient health care coverage and this is a decision that can not wait."
Who can afford insurance?-The people who can afford sufficient medical coverage are the ones who have no income at all, limited income, the middle class, the rich and those who have insurance on their jobs. Many people are working on jobs right now, even though the pay is not that great, just because the job offers health insurance. I know many people who have taken on a second job just to be able to afford the high cost of health insurance for a family plan. America, that's not right!
Who Are In Cahoots?- The doctors and the health insurance companies are in cahoots with each other. The next time that you are charged for a doctor visit review your itemized bill? If you do not say anything the doctor will bill you for services that you do not need just so they can get a "pay day" from the Insurance companies.
Who is Excluded From Coverage ?-If you are a single person with an average paying job you can not afford health insurance. Also, if you work on a job that does not offer health insurance then you are out of luck. The only way that you will be able to be seen by a doctor is if you go to the emergency room. The emergency room is not designed for people who do not have an emergency. If you do not have an emergency and you go to the emergency room what ends up happening is that you will have an extremely long wait and when you are finally seen, the doctor normally just gives you an aspirin and refers you to your primary doctor.
The Astronomical Cost -Have you ever tried to get a quote from a health insurance company? The quote starts out very low until they factor in your age and if you have any pre-existing health conditions. Whew, by the time you get the new quote you are going to need a doctor because you are sick from being overwhelmed with how high your premium is going to be ever month.
So What Do We Do America?: Do we just ignore the fact that many Americans can not afford health insurance so they are not receiving the medical attention that they need? Do we ignore the fact that without preventive care, people's health will deteriorate and the morality rate will rise?
Po' Man's Medical Plan: As it stands, if you do not have health insurance you are going to have to come out of your pockets just to get an annual checkup from your primary doctor. If you can not afford the high cost of going to see the doctor you should work extra hard on preventive care. Also, if you are in a state that offers health clinics to low income families, see if you can get your checkups on a sliding scale.
Preventive Care Tips:
- Get wisdom-You have to turn your television off and get the wisdom that you need to take care of yourself. It is going to be a lot of work, but you must do research and find out the proper foods that you should be eating. If you are not giving your body the proper nutrients your health will reflect it. Also, make sure that you are drinking ample amount of water. Be on the lookout for free health seminars and check your local hospital for free health fairs. You should be sure to get your cholesterol and blood pressure checked.
- Exercise- Humans were not created to sit on their bottoms for a long length of time. Activity keeps your heart from being lazy and its keeps your blood circulating properly.The great news is that you do not have to spend a fortune to exercise. You can do free things like walking, doing push ups and squats.
- Get Peace- You have to find a way to deal peacefully with your challenges. Worrying and feeling sorry for yourself will make you sick. If you are troubled, your immune system is effected and your body can not work properly.
- R & R- Make sure that you are getting enough sleep at night. If you work all the time you will run your body down and you will not be at your full potential when it is time to fight off invaders such as colds. Make sure that you find time to relax as well. Try to take a few minutes before and after work to mediate. Your body will definitely thank you for allowing it to relax and rest.
- Guard your thoughts-Did you know that what you think about constantly can make you sick? Thoughts of lust, envy, jealously and hatred can negatively effect your health. You will operate better in an inner state of love, peace and joy.

@ Creativeone59, thanks for your comments! I am one of the people who are struggling with the cost of health insurance. I am hoping that they pass the bill. I believe that the government needs to step in and help people.
Lovely Hub Tonie, I hav been reading of late about health care issues in America. I strongly believe govt has to take a lead in it.
Thanks Jayb23. I do not know all the details about the President's plan but something needs to happen so that everyone can afford to get medical attention.
You need to read my hub about how the Government will take you over to the point you will not be able to breathe. I had rather eat bread and branch water then to have some elected dumb person telling me where I can see the Dr. and what can be done. Folks you are sadly mistaken when you think this are free. You see the price you pay for Medicare on your paychecks now? Well it will triple at least when this goes into effect. Then you will pay over 50% of your paycheck for healthcare. I'm poor too. I have no cable or satellite TV. I have rabbit ears. I have dial up at $100. I make less than $23,000.00 a year but I doctor myself. I use herbs potions and go on the internet looking for potions. I don't get yearly exams, etc. I pay all my Dr. bills and refuse treatments that I can do without. Educate yourself on how to cure yourself. I've had bronchitis for two weeks and used Vicks salve, sugar, lemon, honey, vinegar, etc. To get myself well. I have faired just as well as someone that paid $900.00 for antibiotics, breathing treatments, etc. You can do for self. If the government gets this bill passed you will be paying insurance premiums through your IRS taxes. You will be told how to eat, breath, and sleep. Do you want to do for self or have the government in your everyday life taxing your sugar, grease (oil), carbs and anything else they can slap a tax on to get the money to run these new layers of government to control you? There is Medicaid, Medicare, and all kinds of aid that could be extended to cover you. Government is using this to control you. Wake up before it is too late.
@Janette- Thanks for your comments, I did read your hub and I left comments. God's Peace and Blessings.
