If the patient is not helped by a cookbook recipe, tough. Doctor has done his job, and nothing more can be done.

That may be the basis of the Obama care.

My problem is that people are being sold this bill of goods under the broad banner of "change" and they are just not thinking.

If a person of average intellect is presented with the true choices, he has no trouble in understanding them. But these guys are not presenting them with true choices.

If you say to the average person, "Don't you think drug companies are overpaid?" most people will say "Hell, yes". But if you put it more rationally to that person, most people can see that they aren't.

It is amazing to me that people like RW, who claims to have business experience, cannot see that if you remove the profit motive from the drug business the quality of health care is going to decline. There is just a missing link in the minds of the some of these people -- a link most 15-year-olds have.
