Reply #85: That sounds like a good reason for heathcare expense ...

[spin]

my problem is why the people that we elected failed to come up with a system that favored the citizens of our nation far more than the medical and insurance industries. I do realize that what Obama and the Democrats accomplished was a start and over time healthcare will be improved, but I suspect we still will have the most expensive system in the world and other countries will have far better results than we do.

Of course, I also can't understand why everything our government does seems to favor the big corporations and the expense of the common citizen. For example, I was and continue to be amazed at how our government kisses BP's ass after they managed to screw up the Gulf of Mexico.

I suspect that our problem is that we have become a nation of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.
