Who should in your opinion 'get their hands on those healthcare dollars'???

Politicians deserve it the least.

I suggested many things on "these pages" over the past several weeks. Deregulating hospitals, tort reform... I think we need a "safety net" system for those who have no money and no insurance - but it is not realistic to expect that everyone can equally receive the best care in the world, irregardless of costs. We don't even have a clue whether Washington would be able to run Medicare directly, without insurance companies serving as intermediaries.

In any case, all this revolutionary sh*t of passing trillion dollar bills without even reading them, as if everything is a life and death emergency, must stop. This new huge across the board tax on CO2 - passed without being read by most "lawgivers" - is obscene. The public will start having serious doubts about all this pretty soon.
