(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 28, 2009 ) Alexandria, VA - LoveAllPeople.org announces the creation of a new website, discussion group, and blog, on the subject of "Health Care From The Patient's View." The website is located at http://www.loveallpeople.org/patientsview.html .
"Health Care From The Patient's View offers a wide-open discussion of health care, from the patient's point of view. Hypothetical medical situations are presented, and people tell how they would respond to each situation," says Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director of LoveAllPeople.org. "Many of these situations and responses originate from from the Google group located at http://groups.google.com/group/patientsview?hl=en Any member of this group may present situations, and any member may respond to any situation. The most interesting of these discussions will be summarized and republished here on this webpage and elsewhere, being placed in the Public Domain."
"You are invited to visit this group, join it, and participate in these discussions," says McGinnis. "You are also invited to visit our blog, "Health Care From The Patient's View," located at http://fromthepatientsview.blogspot.com/ . This blog will provide a running commentary on the progress of the Google group and the web pages."
The first medical situation to be considered is this: Situation: Hit-and-run accident, no insurance, $40,000 medical bill to be paid by you.
You were seriously injured as a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident. The driver has not been located. As a young, hourly, part-time worker, you have no medical insurance because your job did not provide it, and you were not married, had no children, and almost never got sick. You are now able to return to work, at $10.50 per hour. You have just received a total of $40,000 in medical bills, due on receipt.
What do you do?
"If you are interested in Health Care and Health Care Reform, you can participate in this important national discussion by speaking out in this group," says McGinnis. The address is http://groups.google.com/group/patientsview?hl=en
