Recent reports have indicated the US government may allow Americans to purchase medications from an overseas pharmacy or directly from the drug manufacture if/when they have to start paying the bill.

So why doesn't the FDA allow it now? Why do they say it's very dangerous? Why do they make the public and health insurance companies buy drugs only in the US at many cases twice the amount?

The answer to this is you can legally buy your medications from a US pharmacy that purchases them directly from an overseas manufacture.

Have you ever wondered where your health insurance premium goes? How much do you think is lining the pockets of the big bad health insurance company?

-20%?
-30%?
-40%?

More.......?

You may be surprised to know that only .03 cents of every $1.00 is profit for the insurance company.
Is this too much? Some think so. But if you own a small business or even a large one what do you make in profit? 3%? probably not or you would be out of business in most cases. One of the reasons we have health insurance in this country is because our system is built on free enterprise which allows a business to make a profit as long and as much as the market will bare.

Another fact that most people do not know is health insurance is already heavily regulated by the government. It is regulated so much that in most states when a health insurance carrier wants to raise rates they must go to the state, show how much was collected in premiums, and how much was paid out in claims. If the amount of profit exceeds government regulations the insurance company cannot raise rates.

Who will be watching the government and what they charge if/when it's their turn to provide health care?

I thought the whole idea of a government health plan was to help all of the uninsured people in the US.

According to a recent study by the CBO we will spend $1 Trillion in health care over the next few years and this will still leave 37 million uninsured Americans.
