Which kind of Free Ride governs us now?

Pay close attention to the lyrics of this song:

But here are my observations:

1. I drive a specially modified 1996 minivan which is equipped with a motorized ramp for loading and unloading an electric wheelchair. The van is beaten up and torn up on the inside. Meanwhile, handicapped parking spaces are often occupied by brand-new Hummers, Lexus (spaceships-with-wheels) LS400's, Corvettes, or Jags. Why do most handicapped drivers own the newest (and most expensive) cars in the parking lots?

2. Memorial Herman Hospitals are torn down and rebuilt about once every two years, often incorporating elaborate (expensive) and eye-catching architectural structures, as well as fancy furnishings. If the Health-care industry is strapped for profits, how is it that hospitals can afford to do this perpetually?

3. Electric wheelchair makers and must take their customers through extensive security protocols in order to prevent fraudulent claims against Medicare. Why make things tougher for the actual customers instead of prosecuting the actual criminals so that the bureaucracy can spend money on its recipients instead of fighting losses with greater costs?

4. Members of Congress never have to shop around for new Health Insurance every two years like we voters have to shop around for new policies because our employers are looking to reduce costs without regard to decreasing levels of service. Now, our Government wants to fine its constituents for not having Healthcare coverage?

5. The Health Insurance industry has been a market for funding investment brokers with less regard for its intended customers, even to the point of regarding them with contempt. Is this perspective missing from the solutions being presented in Obama's efforts?

Did Edgar Winter know something that should be beaten into our Government repsentatives?

Answer
All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within

1. I agree with this, and to me when I see someone who has handicap and they have no visible sign (i.e. wheelchair, oxygen tank) I wonder why they would take a handicapped space. Especially when they can get out and dart faster then I can with my kids.

2. Agree, I also feel that hospital such as these hold monopolies and drive other smaller facilities out, or end up buying them up, slowly. Giving no choice to the consumer on the quality of there care.

3. Having a illness or lifetime alignment is like being sentenced to being guilty, there is always more paperwork. In proof there of, and prescription coverage.

I am a Type 1 diabetic, have had diabetes since I was a kid, I am thin, and do all that I can to keep healthy. None of my medication or health care costs are tax deductible like most, because I'm lumped together with type 2 diabetics, and the government looks at there illness as an overweight issue. A lifestyle choice. Keep in mind that Type 1 (not onset by Type 2) is an Auto Immune Disorder, so it is no fault, I guess I should blame my parents for bad genetics.

4. I couldn't believe it either.

5. Insurances company's are more then happy to reel in your monthly premium till you you all a sudden have a problem, then they overload you with having to make appeals, and count on time working against you.
