commentary of classmate's blog about Texans Health Care Issues

I am commenting on a classmate's blog "Texans trying to survive without health insurance" by "The Heart of Texas"

I completely agree with this blog on healthcare for Texans. There are WAY to many uninsured people in our state. I do see that we need some kind of help, whether it be a healthcare like Medicaid that is available for everyone, or some more medical branches that serve the people without healthcare ie. Ben Taub Hospital in Houston. Either way something has got to give. I also wonder how we are going to be able to afford this without sending us into a even more of a recession. Money is tight all around this nation. What will we have to give up in order to afford this? I am one of the uninsured people in Texas and I do know that I am taking a huge risk by being this way. I feel it everytime I get sick. But with the price of healthcare being so skyhigh, I don't have much of a choice. Too be insured through United Health Care on my own policy, I was quoted 206 per month. I am a average 29 year old female with no health problems and a non smoker. In the past when I have had insurance I would go to the Dr about twice a year. Once for a checkup and probably another time do to having the flu or something. 206 per month is rediculous to me as a student with little income. We need some kind of healthcare changes, without the beuocracies, and red tape in government. I can't say what would make the perfect solution, but something definately needs to change. Anna
