The Reality for Many Americans: Pay Rent or Pay for Health Care; Qliance May Be Able To Help

Good morning folks! I've had a most harrowing night (sick child), but I hope you've had a less eventful, and more peaceful one.

Here are some interesting links regarding health care for all Americans.

The Brutal Truth About America's Health Care (via The Independent UK):

"In the first two days, more than 1,500 men, women and children received free treatments worth $503,000 (£304,000). Thirty dentists pulled 471 teeth; 320 people were given standard issue spectacles; 80 had mammograms; dozens more had acupuncture, or saw kidney specialists. By the time the makeshift medical centre leaves town on Tuesday, staff expect to have dispensed $2m worth of treatments to 10,000 patients.

The gritty district of Inglewood lies just a few miles from the palm-lined streets of Beverly Hills and the bright lights of Hollywood, but is a world away. And the residents who had flocked for the free medical care, courtesy of mobile charity Remote Area Medical, bore testament to the human cost of the health care mess that President Obama is attempting to fix."

I cannot read that article and ever get doubt that Americans deserve to have the "intrinsic right" to health care. This is why I will actively do my part to blog about health care, and not be quiet. This is personal for me, as I grew up without health care for a while. My mother couldn't afford it for any of us. I would not want my fellow Americans to deal with that if I can help it; if WE can help it.

Recently, the bills from my x-rays have started to pour in. Thank GOD for the insurance I have because I would've been screwed... Actually, I probably wouldn't have been seen, putting my life in danger.

However, if the health insurance companies and their pitbulls get their way, there may still be an option for Americans, and it's started right here in my adopted home state.

Qliance may revolutionize health care by making it more accessible, sans health insurance, for cheap. Check it out!

They're opening one RIGHT down the street from where I live. Basically, I'm thinking that I am going to change my insurance because of this. You've been warned, Premera.
