I firmly believe insurance should be for catastrophic large events and not for every hangnail, sniffle, etc. Those services should be more doable out of pocket. I think this is important. If everyone had to pay a portion of their bill they would make more responsible medical decisions. We sent a kid home today with a fever of just over 100, not even 101. When mom finally got around to picking him up she said she was taking him right to the ER. Really? The kid needed some tylenol, gatorade and a blanket, nothing that justified hundreds of dollars of care. My employer said the same thing when they took away our healthcare - I think it is BS
As for the story you mentioned - do you know the mother's situation? At my friend's job she has to have a doctor's note to leave work to get her kid. If her pedi office can't fit her in that day she has to go to an urgent care or ER to get the note. Her $150 copy is better than getting written up at her job with how often her kids get sick.
She doesn't like it, but she certainly doesn't need sanctimonious school folks judging her either.

OK, so correct me if I am wrong...and seriously, I am not being snarky, but, considering all the effects of all these scenarios...how could Obama have even TOLD us that we could keep our doctor? He can't know what insurance we have and what carrier each of our doctors accept and whether each doctor would participate...right?
