GREED is still the root of many of our healthcare issues.
Imagine if much of the payments collected by insurance companies had been put away as it should have been. Afterall, that is the basic way a risk management company must operate. Their "product" is planning on having the funds to pay when the need arises. Not based against "year on year" payouts, but instead based on long term payouts.
But, instead of keeping the money, they paid it out in bonuses and grossly high salaries. Then, when they really need to provide the product that we paid for, they are short on funds. So, they find ways to cut back, eliminate customers, use our legal system to reduce or not pay at all.
It is a screwed up mess and all based on a few in a position to work the system based on their greed.
If we took the payments made, and spend it across a reasonable cost based healthcare system, there would be money left over after we paid for everyone. However, the few at the top that would not get their big bonuses would shut down the companies.
The government cannot even run itself effectively, no way they can run a good healthcare plan.
So, what we need it not more government, we need adults that are honest and do right because it is right.
Free enterprise works well until greed enters the picture, then all bets are off.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
