I see great potential not just for the Flathead, but for Montana and the nation as a whole. We start by getting rid of Baucus/Tester/Obama Care. This of course followed by getting rid of
Obama/Tester/Baucus, in that order…

I love Obamacare. I have better medical care at a lower price. I have more options then beforeObamacare passed. You are right Obama does care, and so does Baucus and Tester. Doctors and
Hospitals are sharing information with me like never before. Crowder, darling, you don’t know
what you are talking about as usual.

Obviously, “a” has a medical marijuana card.
Of course you love Obummercare. You’re not the one paying for it.

Please tell us how much it is costing you, Josie. A specific dollar amount, if you please.

Let’s see, I do pay for it. I pay for the military to have health care, governement workers,the elderly, the disabled and the poor young through my taxes. You, if you pay taxes, do too.
And we are already paying withhigher priced goods and services because the American Medical
System is associated with the worker.
Then on top of all of that I get to pay my own premiums, for my family of 4, pre ObamaCare about
$12,000 and that was with a $11,000 deductable.
With ObamaCare, I got to shop around with a pre-existing condition. My preexisiting condition
never cost any medical dollars but trapped me in my old group insurance, which kept costing more
because the healthy one were leaving the group. Two companies, wanted my business.
Now we paying about $10,000 with a high deductable again but we get preventive care, I was able
to switch jobs and the insurance companies have to spend at least 80% of the premium on health
care for it’s members instead of that house on Flathead Lake.
I had some surgery this year and I asked what the bill was going to be in total. KRMC was able
to tell me. I saw all my medical records. No suprises. Pre-ObamaCare, it was just a crapshoot,
go the the doctor, wait for the bill, who knew what anything was going to cost. I was terrified
to go to the doctor. Now, I am able to make decision based on information.
ObamaCare is not prefect, we still pay more then another country, but it better then what we
had. We still have a long ways to go. If the Supreme Court throws out the mandate that everone
has to buy insurance, I guess the government will have to tax everyone and we wll be on our way
to Universal Health Care.

Its not the average health care plan that need OVER HAULING…..its the MEDICAID….program that needs some real hard work. It has become the choice for income & freebies for way too
many people.
Even here in the Flathead, I have know a mother of 3 by the same dad; not married, they (she) get
Medicaid that covers her 3 kids…..100%.
Add that too the huge numbers of BIG CITY….people that have used & continue to get
MEDICAID….benefits…..and not work hardly at all…and ONE MORE BABY…get more $$ per
month.
Many people keep harping on Medicare & Obamacare…..the issue is MEDICAID…..give aways
with weep easy social workers in large cities….that give away MULTI-MILLIONS…..like its not real
money and that is somer very serious amounts…..one more kid/baby & I don’t have to work: and I
get free child care, free dental, free haircuts, free…..on & on…......... FREE.

That is so funny pocket rag I concur women should have say over their bodeze (intentionallymisspelled to incense hankie) No one should be able to tell a women what they can or cannot do
to their bodies.

Baucus is trying out his clairvoyance? How about this…Baucus foresees being “retired” this year.
