Heathcare they need to change the name Submitted by:liveurlife 2010-04-24 07:37:57 View all stories submitted by this member View this member's profile I honestly don't know why the word "care" is in healthcare. Recently I am hearing so many stories from friends who are hit with serious health issues. Not only are they faced with the fear of their illness they are struggling because they don't have healthcare to help them through this tough time. One of my friends is in need of a med that cost $1,800 per month (how crazy is that) it's enough to make you sick.... Who is in charge of pricing and regulating the costs of these drugs? I honestly don't know too much about the healthcare bill the President is fighting so hard for, all I hear is the negative about it from the people who are not faced with the issue’s my friends are having. One thing for sure... care should not be a part of the word it should be healthIdontcare... just a thought! I pray that whatever is in the works with this bill will benefit my friends who not only have to worry about their illness but how they are going to afford to pay for the much needed treatment they need. I will continue to pray for you my friends and I truly admire your faith and strength!! Love u..xoxo Post a comment for this story
