Insurance For Health

2008-05-09 Debate on Whether Patients Be Allowed to Buy the Treatment They Want

Gubb calls for an insurance type of contract similar to those of many European systems. For example, in the Netherlands, people buy supplementary insurance for health care such as cosmetic surgery and more comprehensive dentistry. This has led to reduced costs, better quality health care, and fees that are affordable to the majority. In fact, 93 pct. of the Dutch population have some form of supplementary insurance, he says.

He believes that paying for the cost of a drug as a top-up would allow many more patients to benefit from a drug treatment than if they had to pay for the entire course themselves, and would protect the idea of universal health care for which the NHS stands.

2008-02-15 Opinion: Letter: Candidates keep harping on change

Some of the above are far from conjecture on my part. Some are stated goals (withdrawal from Iraq, higher taxes, single-payer insurance for health care) of the Democratic candidates.

Change from having a private health insurance system to one like a failed European system where health care is rationed (it may be cheaper but it wont be better or more available).

Both Democratic presidential contenders are marching under the banner of "change. " Each claims to be the best candidate who can make this change happen within our country. I think either one would do a good job of initiating this change. The question voters must ask and answer for themselves: Is this change we need and want

2008-01-23 Getting squeezy with spending Herald Sun

It has not encouraged people into private health insurance at all. And there are good reasons to argue that encouraging private insurance for health care does not make economic sense anyway.

Other big spending programs should come in for close scrutiny. The private health insurance rebate is one.

Rudd and Swan should keep their election promise to cut taxes because they need to keep the trust with middle Australia, who are the people who voted for them.

2008-01-10 Why should everyone get health insurance For health The Des Moines Register

A study published in the edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association found uninsured, older people, particularly those with cardiovascular disease or diabetes, experienced worse health than insured counterparts. But when the uninsured persons turned 65 and were eligible for Medicare insurance, they reported improved health. This follows a 2003 study published in JAMA that found uninsured people used more preventative health services after they gained access to Medicare.

Having health insurance to pay for medications and health services is necessary for many Americans to stay healthy. Not everyone can wait until the magic age of 65 to get taxpayer-financed health care offered through Medicare. For the sake of the countrys health, health insurance should be available to Americans of every age.

2007-12-16 The Maneater - Student remembered for service, selflessness

Rudds parents and girlfriend, Mina Im, had visited him Sunday at Fort Leonard Wood for a holiday banquet. They were driving home when Mr. Rudd saw a stopped motorist on U. S. 63. He told his girlfriend, who was in another car ahead of him, to go ahead and stopped to assist the stranded motorist.

His sense of duty was a core part of Nielson Rudds life, Tom Rudd said. Neilson Rudd had intended to join the military since he was 12 years old, wavering only in choosing a military branch in which to serve. But from a very young age, Neilson Rudd showed extraordinary concern for others, Tom Rudd said.
