Louisiana Healthcare Plans

Archive for June, 2010

Politics went into high gear this week when 60 necessary votes for the U.S. Senate’s health care bill were secured after granting special concessions and payoffs to certain states. Some senators defended these tactics, saying that “payoffs are nothing unusual”; and that this is “the nature of a democracy” and “part of the normal legislative process.” But what exactly were these payoffs, and how does God look at this kind of political maneuvering?

WASHINGTON, DC By a slim margin, the House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a bill meant to overhaul the nation’s health care system.

The 220 to 215 vote on HR 3962, Affordable Health Care for America Act, was taken late Saturday evening, and fell largely along party lines, although 39 Democrats voted no and one Republican Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana voted yes, according to C-SPAN.

Tonight, in an historic vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would finally make real the promise of quality, affordable healthcare for the American people, President Obama said. The United States Senate must follow suit and pass its version of the legislation. I am absolutely confident it will, and I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year.

The President talks about how the chatter and ruckus around health insurance reform on television obscures the reality of what’s happening in America. He discusses how in most towns people and Members of Congress are having constructive conversations, and how people are learning how reform will help them and their families with the real problems they have faced with the insurance system.

I moved to East Baton Rouge, Louisiana from Orlando, Florida in November, 2009. I used to purchase my own insulin and insulin syringes since I am uninsured and cannot get a health insurance policy of any kind and not sick enough for medicaid. I brought my last box of syringes and ran out about a week ago. I have been trying to purchase them here but everywhere I go they are asking me for a prescription when in Orlando, FL I used to purchase them without a prescription. I DO NOT have a doctor and DO NOT have insurance to see one. I CANNOT afford to pay the $134.00 fee to see a doctor at the local clinic and the local charity clinic refuses to give me an appointment claiming "they are booked for the month to try again next month". I explain profusely that this is an EMERGENCY and that I need help but cannot afford to go the the ER (again) and get another $2,000.00 bill and have nothing done for me like always. And nothing. I FEEL myself dying. I’m dizzy, tired/sleepy, moody, my kidneys are hurting mostly my left one, my stomach hurts, and worse of all, my blood glucose is averaging at around 400mg/dL lately because I don’t have syringes. Walgreens, CVS, WalMart, Albertsons, Winn Dixie, Target, Rite Aid, pretty much EVERY pharmacy says I need a prescription to buy syringes. I need help and I need it like last week. I can order online but it won’t get here til next week. All I need are like 20 til I can receive these syringes. I CANNOT afford the $32.00 overnight delivery fee. Should I just wait and die or… ? Does anyone know where I can legally purchase syringes locally? Any input/ideas/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I purchase my insulin WITHOUT a prescription because I can’t afford to see a doctor. Thanks though. ♥

Have you tried taking your insulin into the pharmacy with when trying to purchase the syringes? The problem you’re encountering is usually a store policy, not a law, although Louisiana may have a law. I live in Texas and can buy syringes without a prescription (at Walmart) and have done the same in Arizona when I lived there. Some pharmacies assume everyone has insurance and for insurance to pay, you need a prescription. Have you tried explaining that the purchase is self-pay? I encountered this in Arizona once, and after I got through to the guy that no insurance was involved, I was able to buy the syringes. If you can get into Texas, you might have better luck, but you might want to take your insulin with you just in case they give you any crap. Hope this helps.

While the overwhelming majority of Americans favor reform that includes a public option providing coverage for the estimated 45 millions Americans with no health insurance, one man is doing everything in his power to make sure this does not happen.

Like your plan? Then you can keep it.

HHS Secretary Sebelius and Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announce a new regulation on “grandfathering”, which ensures all Americans who like their health insurance plan can keep it.
