  • The Hypocrisy and High Stakes of Healthcare Reform [View article]
    Who comes to America though? Sick heads of state and billionaires. People for whom money is not an issue.

    The base problem with health care in the US is runaway cost. I have a brother who has a small business. Aetna jacked his premiums 10% this year. He has no power to negotiate or control the costs. Every year they jump far more than inflation.

    Reform is clearly needed. Unfortunately the Bush administration put it's collective head in the sand on the issue, and Obama is taking the socialistic approach which has definite downsides.
