Whether we in America do end up paying extra or not, whether Obama is honest or just another crooked politician, is irrelevant at this point in the development of our health care system. We are too deep into the business of healing.
How do we solve this? We can't, short of wiping out the present system of health insurance, and all insurance companies with it. When are we going to learn that business of insuring is just what those two words mean: the business for their owners and insurance (or gamble, betting against your own health) for the rest of us. Simply put, nobody should profit from someone's misfortune.
p.s.: Does anyone still remember the doctors from yesteryear making routine house calls not charging for them but taking whatever the patient was able to pay? Is 'Hyppocratic Oath' a long forgotten statement of moral conduct of the people we entrust our lives to?
