Did you go out and buy a new washing machine and two weeks later it broke down? Will the store you bought it from replace it, or give you your money back? There is such a thing as comsumer protection and if they dont repair, replace, or refund your money you paid for that washing machine, they can get into trouble. Comsumer protection is just that. It is there to protect you the consumer. In each and every store, they are suppose to have a sign, to where you can contact consumer protection, if you feel you have been wronged. Comsumer protection also applies to healthcare. Have you seen the signs in your doctors office, or the hospital, that states consumer rights healthcare. Right now with the economy being so bad, you the consumer are the one that can help, when you buy something. Sure, when you go to your doctor your not buying, but you are paying for your healthcare, through your insurance. I am glad they have comsumer protection and a way you can report a store or any business that is trying to defraud the consumer, and that means you. Have you seen the current cost of healthcare these days? It has gone through the roof and allot of people cant afford to get sick, but you have to have insurance. They really need to investigate consumer right healthcare to find out why they have raised the prices. I know all businesses and even health insurance has to be able to survive, but when the price of everything is going up and the pay is going down, it is making it harder on everyone. Things are going to have to change or we are headed for another depression. The price of gas is going up and you have to have gas in your car in order to go to work. Groceries are going up, but we still have to eat, so the lower priced foods sell better than anything else. I could go on and on, but you know how hard it is just to survive and is there no end in sight?
