What we have doesn't work. Something needs to be done. What it is, I don't know but what the current Administration is trying to do is fix something that is broken. I get resistance to change - but Obama's campaign promised "change", he was elected and now people are pitching a fit over "change". You can't have it both ways.

I've been on all spectrum of insurance: "good insurance" (Blue Cross), "government insurance" (MediCal) and no insurance.

When I had no insurance I was lucky enough to live in a city that had a stellar community clinic where I could get excellent care for little to no money. Not all cities are like that.

The worst was MediCal, which I paid nothing for and few doctors would take it. They wouldn't cover my allergy medication without a fight, or the few antibiotics that my Dr. prescribed because I am extremely allergic to nearly everything out there (and anything that ends in 'cillin').

"Good insurance" isn't always good. I've had the same fights with them over coverage.

Because of my experience with MediCal I am hesitant to see a truly "government" program. But something has to give.

So while what I have now, or will have in a few months will be "good insurance" I am well aware that it's far from perfect and millions of others aren't as fortunate, and are uninsured.
