Reply #129: I hope they succeed, but the hospitals are the fly in the ointment

If you can find a doctor who is reasonably priced, and takes good care of you that's great, BUT if you are ever needing a hospital, you will lose everything without insurance..

In my childhood, most hospitals had a church affiliation, and were not-for-profit, so costs were minimal.. Of course they did not have all the fancy equipment that is the norm..

I don't know what the solution is anymore..:cry:.. Perhaps nationalizing the whole health care "industry" from top to bottom is the only way to ever get costs down.. We know that won;t happen in our lifetimes..

It irks me to no end to know that a few super rich people are getting even richer, at the expense of sick people.. It's obscene..
