<<Here's an idea for you - if health care is such a great thing - why not make all wages and profits from the medical industry tax exempt from all forms of taxes. No corporate taxes etc - that would significantly reduce costs. Why should the government tax such a necessary thing as health care - seems mean.>. Are you kidding? They will just raise their prices by the amount of the tax cuts. In my town a colonoscopy is $4,000. That is nuts. We need a single payer and universal health care. Good lord. We should triple the number of medical schools and get more docs. Plenty of qualified students. 30 to 40 other coutnries manage to gt their people affordable health care but not us. The only conclusion one can make is that we are stupid or don't care.
