It is a real tragedy the number of Texans that go without Health Insurance Protection, I support the idea that every American citizen should have Individual Health Insurance, as a basic right and privilege, Yet I am not some firm on how we should fund this coverage for those who cannot afford it or , should we even subsidize this plan for non citizens. I am a taxpayer, concerned citizen and Texan. I should qualify as one who has questions and concerns about the effect of a National Health Care Plan on my future financials. I may want to retire one day, or draw on my Social Insurance. Will there be benefits for Americans after we have paid for this plan for years. I hope so!
Recently many of us have taken a tremendous hit in our savings, and unless you have a pot of gold and a rainbow you may not weather many more blows like the one we have endured. Some of the fears I have are based on the staggering numbers of uninsured residents, largely because of illegal immigration, which makes this very difficult to sort out. Texas has some 28% of its residents between 0-64 that are uninsured and 21% under the age of 17 uninsured. Many are without Medical insurance, Dental Insurance, vision care & therapy and psychological treatment. Even if they could afford it, many either don't have access to Health Insurance Quotes or don't have the source to point them to the proper Health Insurance Information. Affordable Health Insurance has little value to people with no means to find it. This situation is monumental financially and even more so physically to those who have no Medical Insurance. Who has the answer and who will pay for it? The government says America can pay for it, but; where will the money come from?

On June 16 2009 the Congressional Committee on Oversight & Investigations received statements from financial advisors on ways to safeguard the US from insurance companies that use shaky practices and in turn jeopardize our American Financial Markets. The Senate is currently working hard creating legislation to realize president Obama's promise of a National Health Insurance Plan to provide Health Insurance Coverage for our citizens.
Will we develop a Health Care Plan with a hole in the bottom of it? There are two major underlying issues that have to be fixed in order for Americans to fully buy into and support this legislation; they are spiraling medical costs and illegal immigration Who, if anyone; is working on a plan to shore up our borders and create an update immigration policy that reflects our current picture more accurately.
The Texas Health Insurance woes pale in comparison to our complete National Health Care scenario and possible budget to finance this National Health Care solution. The coverage hypothetically will coexist alongside private insurers and compete with them in price, as well as cover all uninsurable as well as fit into the work place group insurance picture. That is an interesting, Does anyone her know why Group Health Insurance is so costly now? The true cost in a society is people who do not support the tenants of its system in every way.
Our elderly Americans have worked hard for many years to secure whatever benefits they receive and rightfully deserve. I am talking about those who are receiving benefits and those who will benefit an never have paid. You will pay for it, especially if you are successful in life financially.
Along with the benefits there should also be co-operation and giving into the system by all who benefit. I believe that no Uninsured Americans and especially Texans without insurance should be forgotten, But, Who will pay for this thing??
Don't leave our futures in the hands of the political machine. Whatever you're views are you should tell your congressman how you feel. No child should be uninsured nor should any of our older Citizens be without daily care and the love of other Americans.
Live for Success, Stand for Something and Believe.
