Living Poor

With almost a record number of people unemployed and a lot more than that not covered by any sort of health insurance, why do many think that health care reform is such a bad thing? Sure, it takes the taxes from the people that are still working and making money and will force them to pay for people who won’t be paying a dime, but why not? Everybody else seems to be getting their share of handouts.

What the so-called “Health Care Reform” doesn’t really address is the actual “reforming” of the health care industry, though. Overcharging and selling name-brand drugs to the insured is widely known to be commonplace.  People have complained about it, in the past, but nothing has been done. What happens when “everybody” is insured on a national plan? Everybody will be charged those high rates and very few will be sold generic drugs. The still-employed taxpayers will have an even larger bill to pay, when all is said and done, because of this.

While this is actually a “National Health Insurance Plan”, who knows when they will start looking at covering other non-insured areas, like auto insurance, homeowner’s insurance, dental, life?

After a while of being gone, the Living Poor blog has been brought back. There will be some changes to the layout and theme in the near future, but we’ll start posting content on a regular basis, once again.

After taking some time away from blogging at Living Poor, we decided to come back with a few changes. The changes are not “big”, but they involve shorter, easier to read posts, as well as the ability for readers to become authors, here.

With the economy in the shape it is, we realized that the information that we post could be more useful than ever before.
