Re: Clinton Health Plan and crappy looking '08 slate

I got an old aunt and uncle, he's retired from a good government job and he retired with full medical coverage.

They're on Medicare and they've got the government insurance plus a private medical insurance policy on the side. Since they've got double or triple coverage, they MAKE money most every time they go to the doctor. So - between the two of them they go to the doctor at least twice a week and they've been pulling that for over 15 years.

There's nothing much wrong with them, they're just old. Those two people have had as much medical care as the entire population of a third-world country gets - it's their hobby.

There's no telling how much the medical industry has made off them, and there's no telling how much they've made health insurance premiums go up.

I've got a feeling there's a lot of people like that - using up medical resources because they don't have to pay for it. Health care providers are glad to go along with it because they've got insurance companies and the government to bill for a whole bunch of unnecessary services.
