>> It's all a big "free for all rip off" in the name of the poor getting a little at the end of the teat. It is so sad to see it but I think you're precisely correct. And we've seen this time and again over the last several years; the money is starting to add up. The health care system is now packed with perverse incentives and the spending is crazy. The charity hospital we've had in my town since my mom trained there as an nurse in the 30s: Now gone, bought out by St. Vincents, which has been bought out by a private hospital corporation. There is no longer a charity hospital here after nearly 100 years. What these idiots have done to the health care system is simply an outrage. People cannot get the care they need, even though they're "insured" -- either because they're out of network or they can't afford the deductibles, and the hospitals want to be paid up front. MDs as well, since they are now all owned by hospitals. In our small town there are three new "Quick-care Clinics" -- which sounds great, but every time you show up you're going to see a different doctor who has no idea what your issues are or why you're there and certainly can't ask how the kids are doing. It is a terrible mess.
