the problem in this country is that not enough people are paying for their own health care or insurance. Some people are getting medicare others are getting medicaid, others have benefits from the VA or a government job. Others get it from unions or employers. Only the people who are responsible for paying their own bills truly understand the state of our health care industry. Because of that it is always someone else's problem and no one really minds paying 48k for 2 nights of saline drip in the hospital when the only cost to them is the 500.00 deductible. The hospital collecting the 48k certainly does not want that to change neither do any of the other predators in that food chain. Put a high tax on employer sponsored insurance plans so that all employers stop offering it as a benefit. Then we will see real reform.
