Reply #8: AND the profits of Big Pharma, Insurers, etc are part of the cost as well.

The political influence of those groups are what is keeping health care reform from becoming a reality...as it has since FDR tried to introduce it.

Govt insurance works...in just about every other modern industrial country. The doctors make a living, the hospitals survive, and people get the medical care they need.

The only ones who are unhappy are Drug Companies and Insurers.....and lobbyists for them.

Anyone who cannot see that is either a lobbyist, or involved with drug companies or insurers.
Just knowing how much money- million$ and million$- these groups are paying to stop health care reform should give you some insight into how much profits they will lose if there is reform.

The "concessions" those folks are willing to make indicates how terrified they are of what will happen if there is health care reform..and you can be damn sure it has NOTHING to do with being worried about the quality of the health care that Americans receive!!!
