We have rationing now...most drug plans only allow generic drugs, mine sure does that. I am trying to get into see a specialist any can't get an appointment for months.
We, as a nation, cannot sustain the current "free market" model of healthcare.
Release the hounds!!! She attacks the "free market".

COLOGAL,
With all due respect, I have been blessed thus far with good health and am old enough on the other hand that this bill probably will never influence me in any way but I would like to ask two questions simply because I do not know and is not meant to be argumentative..
1. Are there not drug plans that you can get that use NON generic drugs ?
2. Is the reason for your inability to see the specialist one of the specialist himself and being popular and/or your choice of a specific specialist ?
The reason I am asking is that this would not be a rationing but in fact, good examples of free market, in that you CAN get both, but it is a cost issue !!!!
Again, not meant to be argumentative but if I am correct and I hope you will correct me if I am, THAT is one of my many beefs with this particular bill....it does not in anyway, AS PROMISED, address health costs in anyway !
Thanks
