Comments & Feedback
You are absolutely right, I tried to get long term health care so when I get old my child will not have to take care of me, but because I had my back fused in 2005 and taking heavy pain killers they told me NO. They can not insure me. Oh, yes we do need to reform out health care. Those of you that saying no are probably young and healthy, but wait until your child or even you have something happen and need long term care then you will say we should have fought for change. So what you might have to pay a little more now, but we are talking about your future. I'm disable, can not work, but I'm willing for some of my money to go so I can get into a decent health care facility that will treat me like I'm a person and not sit me in a corner and forget that I'm still alive.
