The more I work under our system, the less it makes sense to me. The people who actually want to give gret health care to our people are limited by the guy who knows nothing about being sick and is in it to make an extra buck. Neither caregiver nor patient is happy. I am all for socialized medicine. If the rich want private insurance or something more, they can always have the option to it. Soemthing needs to change because society is not getting the care they need. In such a medically and technilogically advanced and intellecutally savy country, we should be able deliver much better health care than we do now. Don't even get me started about public education to prevent so many of the problems we are treating in this country!!! It is, however, interesting that insurance companies are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on end of life care and not a single cent on education and prevention.....grrrr Our nation’s healthcare system is totally wrong and backwards.

It is perplexing that the rules are so clear about conflict of interest and insider trading with other industries, but not within the health insurance world. It is my hope that a baseline national system can be put into place that will outpace what is available in Canada and England. Why not learn from their models and improve them?
