This is a very insightful point

I don't know if you were replying to me specifically, Swamp, but I didn't mean to imply that I expect the gumment to take care of health care. I only meant that I'd like to maybe see a little legislative pressure on the whole health care industry to resolve some of their issues with waste and redundancy, overly complicated billing and administrative procedures, etc. If they can regulate theutilities and things like that, maybe they could regulate health care some.

I know that's rather vague. I certainly don't have the answers, but we have plenty of smart people in the US who either have them or could find them. We just need to find the political will to do something about this issue.

Not at all D! If it were directed at you I'd have quoted you. I always quote the quoter(?) to avoid that confusion but it only seems to work in my head

Ha!

Best thing to happen would be to rid all corporations & gov of the burden of insuring employees. Let everybody self-insure and let the market work.

Society needs people like me rollin the $$$ to make things work but if health care brings me to my knee's we have a problem. Micheal Moore should have interviewed me, I am a disabled veteran who's father invented one of the most used and successful surgeries today, if it I did not have access to his clout I would be thrown into the heap with the regular folks.
