I think doctors' hands are tied by insurance companies...I have a friend whose 12 year old daughter has been having seizures...Her doctor ordered diagnostic testing to see what was going on...Her husband's insurance company flat out refused to pay for it...We don't live in a third world country! This is America! Shame Shame

Health Insurance by Command

The nice thing about elections is that they give you a choice not only of people but of policies. In the 2008 primaries, for instance, Hillary Clinton offered a health care plan that required everyone to get insurance, while Barack Obama’s blueprint had no such mandate. That was about the only difference in their suggested solutions.

It was a big one, to hear Obama tell it. He aired a TV ad attacking Clinton because her scheme “forces everyone to buy insurance, even if you can’t afford it, and you pay a penalty if you don’t.”
