I've had insurance for years and for a trip to the emergency room with my sick baby I was denied because I didn't call the insurance company in advance...can I say, "HELLO! Emergency buddy!" Not to mention, it was after the company's business hours too so even if I had called nobody would have been there to pick up anyway. The cost for insurance that "really" covers your family in America is also down right prohibitive and basically thievery. I've never had a problem like that in Japan...NEVER. Plus, there's no such things as "pre-existing conditions rules" in Japanese national insurance. Should I mention that children's insurance is completely free until they enter elementary school in Japan and insurance rates are scaled to your family's income. Japan even pays you money to have a child here so there's basically no financial burden when you have a baby and then they give you money for child support every month until your child finishes junior high school too. I have no intention of ever moving my family back to America until this insurance nightmare is over...and if that means never, so be it. What Obama is proposing should have been taken care of as the second order of business right after our founding father's signed the Declaration of Independence.

It's shameful that we as Americans are so greedy and not pushing this plan forward so our uninsured brothers and sisters can be taken care of too if the need arises. I'm ashamed to be associated with any American citizen who doesn't care about his neighbor. Sorry Republicans but Japan has been doing fine since WWII with a universal healthcare plan in place.

Titled "Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions, it was published on January 31, 2009 and submitted to the Department of Ethics! You can find it on <a href="http://www.thelancet.com" rel="nofollow">www.thelancet.com</a>. If you are between the ages of "roughly 15 and 40 years" and are "socially useful", I guess you don't have anything to worry about.
