16. Its just a matter of time for corporations petition
congress for access to medical records. Health care is expensive so reducing the cost comes down to employee behavior. Since our current GOP congress is enacting new regs and programs on behalf of large drug companies we can't expect them to cap the costs of health care. One of the complaints about Bush* tort reform is that it doesn't require health insurers to lower costs if they do cap awards. Besides that, the tort cap the Bush wants represents less than 2% of health care costs. Welcome to the new "ownership society" which is Bush speak for "corporation owned" and if you don't suffer from diabetes, arthritis, cancer, or some other malady, you might be employable.
