dan, are you certain only 15% of americans lack health care coverage? i agree that this does not represent the majority of health care costs. do you believe a single payer system would reduce costs effectively? http://www.pnhp.org/facts/why_the_us_needs_a_single_payer_health_system.php
i agree that red tape is a bureaucratic nightmare and poor health habits contribute to the problem, even if there was available primary care. i have a friend who has excellent insurance and refuses to see a doctor. i don't know the solution. do you have any suggestions how to reduce escalating costs from the legal system, without increasing the amount of malpractice. i was a victim, myself and was intimidated from seeking redress. what can be done about prolonging life when death is inevitable? in my brother's case, the doctors asked me to sign in order to remove him from life support and i refused. that was 10 years ago, my brother's liver recuperated and he recently completed interferon treatment for hepatitis c. fortunately he lives in hawaii, which has an excellent health care system. he is a lifelong alcoholic and is only off the sauce when he is on probation or institutionalized. if was anyone but my brother i might say pull the plug. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun.
