Bob, this is not addressed to you, I just am replying to the last post.

I believe the medical and insurance industry have brought this on themselves. The free market is great in concept, but sometimes does not work, and you can argue whether or not the medical/insruance field is a free market with all the restrictions. The problem is the immorality of the fees being charged. This goes to both the insurance and the medical and drug industries. When a CEO's third vacation home becomes more critical than the health and well being of fellow human beings, there is a severe problem. The major argument is how to fix it.

I don't believe the "free market" will fix it, or if it does it won't be timely. This is why government will step in to try to fix it. That is a scary thought as well.

From what I have seen Obamcare has addressed an issue. I have a ton of clients who now have affordable health insurance that did not before. Argue whether that is good or bad, it is what I have seen.

Ultimately, most of the American people just want to live decently and have enough to take care of their basic needs and to be left alone. The greed and immorality of the top 1% of Americans will come back to bite them in the arse. It is simply history of the ages repeating itself yet again.

For the majority of my life I have been a strong conservative. Somewhere that has changed in the last five or so years. I am not by any stretch liberal however. Right now I am more disgusted by it all than anything. Politics and the nonsense and lies and bull simply makes me ill. Where have the statesmen gone? Where is the care for our fellow human beings?
