I have about as much chance of persuading "This guy" about anything as I do of catching Ebola while I'm pregnant.

>> Take it up with this guy...let me warn you however that you are missing the symbolic nature of the point.

Yes, he is. As are you.

The point is that if you have an arbitrary dread illness your best shot is is in the United States and has been for decades. Period. Now, there are signs that is changing, as American health care is on the decline, but it is far too early to detect how extensive it will become.

The true harm comes with innovation is killed, and that will take a longer time to evolve than just seeing lousier care.

But it is significant to me that I don't see any health care professionals who believe the situation is improved. I know a disproportionately large number of doctors, nurses and other providers, as well as a lot of front/back office personnel.

NONE OF THEM are saying, "Shit, these Obamacare changes have really made things better." NONE. NOT ONE have I heard this from. And I have customers who are liberals, conservatives, and libertarians. I'm just not seeing it. Maybe you are. But in the four states where we provide services I don't see it.
