Reply #2: So, let me get this straight...I will see no difference in my health coverage

[Raven]

under the Obama Health Plan. I am 63 and get my insurance through my employer. It is very good insurance and I have no complaints. The Obama Plan will not take my coverage away from me.

If I was to lose my job, under the Obama Health Plan, I would be able to find affordable health insurance either through some sort of government supported program or with a private carrier who will not be able to pull the "pre-existing condition" crap on me. Anyone who has lived to be my age has some sort of a pre-existing condition...living has a way of doing that.

So far, so good. Now, when I reach 65, I will enroll in Medicare. I have talked to many folks on Medicare and they love it, have no problems with it. No one from the government ever gets involved with their care...it's them and their Doctor.

So, that's pretty good. Now, for end of life issues. I have struggled through this with both of my parents as I have previously described. They had given no instructions and my brother and I did what we thought was the right and loving thing to do for them. I wish an end of life conversation had taken place. It would have made things easier.

So, for me, the fact that the government wants to encourage families to talk about this inevitable event is nothing but a good thing. I have a living will but it's only a concept until I am faced with death and the stages of death. At that point I want to have a conversation with my Doctor and my Son. I want to know that we are all on the same page. I want to understand what's ahead. I want that for myself and because I owe that to my Son.

So, there it is folks, in a nutshell, Obama's Health Plan. I cannot find one single thing evil about it. What have I missed? Am I living on a different planet?
