America's South: Health insurance Opinion

Shanaya Reeves' Opinion

If you ask me, the cost of health insurance is still ok though I don't know about the future the way rates are going up.

I don't think the rise in costs necessitates healthcare reform. The solution to controlling costs may lie in better technology or better procedures.

I do believe that having to provide cover for illegal aliens is one of the factors driving up costs. Also, lack of health insurance competition in Georgia and Alabama for instance is certainly a high cost factor in those states.

I believe such solutions as the above would make any further government intervention unnecessary.

The stats about people not covered by health insurance is slightly bloated because many young people do not get health insured BY CHOICE. They simply feel they don't need it since they rarely have serious medical complaints unlike the elderly.

The reasons for not having coverage don't boil down to cost alone. Sometimes, it's simply choice.

'Democrat' Leiberman & Health Insurance

Hey, we need to remember that Mr Joe Lieberman is more of an Israeli than an American.What is his concern about 30 million or more americans who have no health insurance?

Funny enough, the man supports health insurance in Israel which is both universal and compulsory.

It seems Lieberman just wants to continue enjoying the money from the insurance companies with home base in his state.

Sorry to say it seems this guy is selfish and greedy and couldn't care less about many americans. Even seems his wife is also on the insurance companies payroll.
