Like it or not, we’re not going to return to status quo ante, which is gone.
We need to reform our health care system so it works with minimal government interference.
The government should make sure market players follow the rules, people know the plan they choose will provide the level of protection they need and that consumers don’t face fraud.
I think that’s as reasonable as it goes. The government should not be in the business of micromanaging health care or trying to run one-seventh of our economy.
I agree with you goldstategop.
Prior to and during the 0bamacare runup, I was driving around the area here and noticed that there was a HUGE spot that was earmarked for a health complex, including elder care, pet care, PT, and clinics. Around that was another HUGE set of areas earmarked for houses and condos. Interspersed were building for outlying campuses/campi for universities.
I decided that the health care ‘debate’ was a fraud and that this was planned.
Inside 50 miles around here, after 0bamacare came in, the ONLY big building projects I saw were at hospitals. Those projects themselves were also BIG, to the point of amazing. I’d not seen building like that around hospitals for decades.
My point is that pharma isn’t going to give up everything it’s gotten without a fight. Medical and finance are the two private industries that have fared well under 0bama.
