The Healthcare Debate Never Ends

And the on-going debate of healthcare continues. Public support for the Obama-proposed reform has fallen to an all time LOW, and alternatives are popping up everywhere. People are seeing right through the phony liberal dogma being thrown around. As people lose trust in this administration, you can expect some fear tactics soon. Just like the stimulus, just like cap-and-trade and now healthcare.

Today we are searching for healthcare that is so expensive that 47 million people can't afford it right now. But did you know that in the State of Georgia, healthcare is avalable for less than $100 a month?

Here's another example on how affordable health coverage can be, this time using the Blue Cross Blue Shield website for the state of Georgia and getting a quote for a 25-year old male living in Atlanta:

The "Tonik" plan offers the following services (including dental and vision coverage, $20 office visits, physician choice, etc.) for only $97.46 per month (there are other cheaper plans, this is a midrange plan):


Network: PPO
Deductible: $5,000
Coinsurance (after deductible): 100%
Physician Office visits: $20 copay for first 4 visits, then plan pays 100% after deductible.
Drug Coverage: $10 generic / $30 preferred / $50 non-preferred.
Physician Choice: Yes
Dental Care: $0 for cleanings, exams and x-rays. You pay 20% for minor restorative procedures like fillings after $25 deductible.
Vision care: Plan pays $50 toward a routine eye exam, glasses or contact lenses and you'll pay the rest.
Professional Services (X-ray, lab, diagnostics, etc.): Plan pays 100%
Outpatient Care: Plan pays 100%
Hospital Inpatient Services: Plan pays 100%
Emergency Care: Plan pays 100%
Physical/Occupational Therapy, Chiropractic Services: Plan pays 100%
Preventive Care : Plan pays 100%

All that for less than $100 a month.

Healthcare is so expensive isn't it.

ANother thing is, we now have free healthcare. today. right now we offer free health. Select Walgreens are offering free healthcare for families now.

"The Take Care Recovery Plan provides care you can count on.

Sacrificing quality healthcare for you and your family should never be an option. As a healthcare provider, we see the effects of a struggling economy on the patients and neighborhoods we serve.

That's why we've created the Take Care Recovery Plan to help our current and future patients. It provides access to free healthcare visits for our patients, and their families, who have lost their jobs and are uninsured."

So, Blue Cross Blue Shield for less than $100 a month, Take Care Recovery Plan, and MEDICAID, do we really need a government take over?
