Prevail we shall!!

I think insurance can be fixed my fixing the malpractice garbage which is what raised the cost of health care to astronomical amounts to begin with.

40/50 years ago you could walk into the dr’s office, pay your fare share, get treated and go home.

Now, even WITH insurance you practically have to mortage the farm to pay for any quality care.

My doctor (as of a few months ago) will not honor ANY insurance provider!

The critical increase in medical care began in the 1960s. I remember my mil having a colestomy. I walked down the hall from her room. At the end of the hall was aroom with 3 beds in it. 3 women were so happy with medicare...they decided to take their vacations every year in that same hospital in that same room. Of course the cost of the colestomy was triple what it had been when I was a nurse, because the government had then stuck it’s nose into the medical care. Tuition in universities who accept grants for whatever the university says it’s interested in, the cost of tuition and everything else at the university sky rockets. Whenever the government sticks our money into a private entity, the costs roar to new high levels. When government buys or takes over an entity...it eventually fails. Social Security, post office, am-track are a few. I’m waiting to see what happens to GM and bank takeovers.

Sometime I pay, when I need a prescription updated and filled. It costs a LOT less than using the insurance.
