648. Thank You Mr. Perry

Rick Perry vows not to implement the setting up of health exchanges and expansion of Medicare stated in Obamacare. there are better ways to actually IMPROVE health care AND improve health care costs that Obamacare! Perry knows it, as do many other state governors still fighting the controversial parts of Obamacare. Insurance across state lines would raise the health pools (and risk pools) and make insurance companies more competitive. Obamacare does NOT provide competitiveness and will cost more. For those not on Medicare, take some time to understand that Medicare + supplemental insurance needed to make your coverage equal or a little better than before your ancient days, is NOT significantly less than you are paying today -- unless you get your insurance through work. We old seniors have the large monthly expenditure in our fixed income budgets to deal with until we part to better pastures. Some, like me, have pensions that DON'T increase ever per year, while health costs and insurance do! We need REAL help to lower health and health insurance costs (I'm only asking to lower the annual increases). Maybe the states can work out regional deals and get this accomplished since our federal government has given up! Go Perry and other governors fighting for US and NOT the party.
