hello to all

I just wanted to start by complaining about healthcare here in the US. Mine is a story that has become almost commonplace. I don't know about you, but I find it unacceptable that I have to worry about losing my house, in order to pay for healthcare- and I currently have healthcare but the premiums are outrageous and we cannot go without since both my daughter and I have chronic, incurable illnessess!!
How can the home of the free and the brave tell people they can't see a doctor if they need one. Pre-existing condition clauses do just that. If you get sick, and tell a doctor aboutit, you can be denied insurance coverage in the future becaseu y ou got sick/ How crazy is that? Are there really people out there who think this is okay? How can we allow the drug companies to control our lives?.....
