No one seems to want to see the cause-effect pattern that brought us to where we are now.This is true but health insurance companies ARE screwing us too. In their defense, screwing people is their business model. They are in business to make money, not to make sure all your aches and pains are gone. Something of a necessary evil in our current system. That's life.

These companies are experts in their fields, and they are struggling to make 3.5%. How Big Government is going to IMPROVE on that is a total farce. We will spend more for less quality of care. There is no reason to believe anything else.
