Reasons why healthcare is so expensive is not solely to corporate greed. Much of it is attributed to a bevy of regulations the State requires for a healthcare company to operate. Simply put, it's like this: Right now, you pay insurance for your vehicle. If you own it, you can vary your type of coverage. But, on a whole, you have one company and one policy insuring your car. Now how complicated and expensive would it be that you had to have seperate policies, and even perhaps different companies or sub-groups, to individually insure various parts of your car? Like a policy for the alternator, the transmission, the braking system, the engine block, etc....? That would be a nightmare to undertake, and that is what is happening to our health industry.
It's no big secret that our nation is in serious decline, and no secret as to the reasons why. But why get angry at our politicians and their lobbyist and corporate supporters? Blame yourself, blame the US citizen. You and I let this happen. The answers are not going to come out of Washington. They're going to come from you as the individual. Woe be onto those that wait for deliverence from D.C. Don't hold your breath.
