Surprising how some people (even some smart people) blame a program that is not even in effect yet for all the ills in the health care world. The problem is that people making $25K a year can run up $10K/day in health care cost..easily. Look at all the strip malls, used to be stores... now it is Pain Clinics and Dialysis Clinics and Physical Therapy facilities. The medical industry has gone wild, designing new and exotic procedures and tests. Somebody has to pay....who?

The biggest reason that GM and Chrysler when into bankruptcy was the sky rocketing health care costs for their retirees. FACT! They tried eveything but could not stop the run away health care costs. Citiy and state governments are next to falter.

We have a medical industry complex that is going to bankrupt this country unless we put controls and constraints upon them.

This is a tractor forum. If the tractor repair shop insisted on doing a $3000 test to find the source of a transmission leak on your $2000 tractor you would say "no way".

But if a Dr. wants to do a $5000 test on a terminally ill 86 year old woman, with stage 4 lung cancer and just weeks to live, we shut up and dump the cost on the government ( just happened to my mother). Meanwhile the medical industry gets wealthy and the hospital administrators make $800,000/year, and the doctors all drive MB.

The health care cost problem in this country started 20 years ago and neither party has the balls to really tackle the greed and avarice of the healthcare industry.

Please quit being such a sheep to the talk show hosts.
