The Senate is working to pass a health care bill that would seriously negatively affect countless Americans living with Parkinson's disease (PD), especially older individuals and those who rely on Medicaid. The vote is expected in the coming weeks. Contact your senators today and tell them to vote "no."
Michael J. Fox
In any civilized country, healthcare should be a human right, and not a privilege.
It works that way in many occidental countries, including mine.
It is a UNIVERSAL right available to ALL - always has been, always will be (except for those who expect others to pay for their care).
I do feel for you Americans. Here in New Zealand the socialized medicine still has its problems ( needs more funding) but sure beats having to buy insurance!
It's unfortunate that the lawmaker, here in the USA, just don't get it! My wife has a pre-existing condition and her premiums and health care costs have gone through the roof. Now I , with PD, may be facing the same thing.
The best results is when the 2 parties come together and work it out. I am sick of all this obstruction.
If you read Karl Denninger's countless posts on the US healthcare system - it is absolutely outrageous. The main issue is that you guys pay vastly more for your drugs than you need to - because medical monopolies are allowed and imported drugs are illegal.
I can't find a better analogy for the Health Care debacle. Got to laugh or cry.
Take off the Party Glasses and fix this thing.
At the prompting of the MJF organization I wrote my senator expressing my opinion. I've been contacting my representatives frequently lately.
To say nothing of the millions of dollars in research funding being slashed.
Michael, my husband, as yourself, has PD! He has had it for 27 years. Interestingly, I don't see the Health CarecAct (that has not been accepted) as a threat as you project! I guess we can all be affected by PD and politics!!!
