I'm sick of paying $500/month for health insurance AND THEN paying co-pays, leftovers and prescriptions. It should all be included in the premium I already pay. I'm sick of the possibility of being dropped by my insurance when I need it most. I'm sick of important things not being covered. I'm sick of premiums going up just because I made a claim. I'm sick of the idea of an illness in my family possibly ruining me financially EVEN THOUGH I pay for insurance!  (Monday Dec 7 | post #25)

I don't know what the answer is. Health insurance companies suck. The Obama/Pelosi/Reid plan sucks even worse. Health care should be about the people getting what they need, and not about money,  (Wednesday Nov 25 | post #24)

Are you saying that if an incompetent physician makes a mistake, the victim should be powerlessNot sure what that has to do with the price of health care / insurance, but okay....  (Tuesday Nov 24 | post #22)

THE INSURANCE COMPANY. That's what insurance is for. We pay premiums for years so that we can have coverage when we need it. They should not be allowed to drop coverage simply because someone make a claim.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #19)

Yes, my parents have an income (retirement + social security). My family and I are healthy. Can you imagine if we got sick? If he health insurance company doesn't drop us (because they can't make a profit on sick people), we could be financially ruined. It had nothing to do with lifestyle choices. We don't smoke, drink, or go to McDonald's.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #17)

Hmm.. I agree, and I don't. My parents are retired. They do not work. Are you saying that they do not deserve health care, especially when they need it the most? For the record, "ObamaCare " is a huge mistake. I do not support it in any way. However, I work, and I pay about $300/month through my employer for health insurance for my family. This is a "minimum " rate, as we are all healthy an under 50. On top of this outrageous premium, I also pay co-pays, around $30 a pop, and I also still have to pay for prescriptions, which is $20/$35. On top of THAT crap, I also have to pay the DIFFERENCE that health care won't pay. I just had minor day surgery, and my total out-of pocket was $255 day of surgery, $20 for meds, and about $120 in office visits (4 at $30/each). I also had to pay the "leftover " for testing, etc. What we NEED is FULL COVERAGE with NO CO-PAYS, and NO POSSIBILITY of dropped or refused coverage. We also NEED for doctors and health care professionals to be certified and accountable. What we DON'T NEED is higher taxes, employers dropping their coverage in favor of a Government Option, rationing, waiting lists, or government bureaucrats deciding our health care options.  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #13)

York man killed in fight with home intruder - WTKR

"The Sheriff's Office received a call from Ragans Saturday night. During the call, Ragans said he had been receiving threats that day from a man he identified as 'Allen,' Ivey said. A sheriff's office report was taken, but deputies were not dispatched to the house Saturday because "we had limited information," Ivey said. 'There were no beefs we know of before this.'" C'mon, Pigs. Do your JOB! The man said that he had been receiving threats, and you didn't investigate? Now the man is dead because no one would do anything. I swear, with the Gloucester and Hampton rednecks infiltrating York County, it's going to be as bad as the East End soon.  (Monday Nov 16 | post #9)

Avoid Harpoon Larry's

I have been to Bill's several times. Most of their stuff is fried. It's mainly a "senior citizen" place. No crab legs, no bang-bang shrimp. Besides, the line to get in is long enough as it is. Don't "advertise " on here and attract the rednecks and party jerks to Bill's and ruin it for the rest of us.  (Nov 6, 2009 | post #32)

Avoid Harpoon Larry's

No, if you like Harpoon Larry's, try Red Lobster or Surfrider, both in Hampton. Plus, there are tons of seafood places in Hampton and Va Beach on the waterfront.  (Nov 6, 2009 | post #27)

DOW

Everytime I check the DOW and oil prices, when the oil prices start falling down toward where I want to see them, the DOW is down, too. When I notice that the DOW is up, the damn oil prices are up by a dollar or more, too. I want to see the DOW go up about 500+ points, and oil drop about 50-75%.  (Nov 2, 2009 | post #1)

Deeds vs. McDonnell

McDonnell is an attorney at the firm of Huff, Poole and Mahoney. Deeds current occupation is that of State Senator. The point is that Deeds understands that it takes more that teachers to make an effective school system. McDonnell wants to make more of the school budget's money go to teachers. To do that, he will have to eliminate support positions. That is not good for anyone.  (Oct 27, 2009 | post #59)
