Patents are indirect current leaches. The farce that is the insurance business
in the country is a leach as well but it is both direct and indirect and leaches
past, present and future.
It is not a pay or do without, it is pay or DIE!
It leaches off the past by forcing people to drain their savings, retirement and
remortgaging payed off homes in order to get medical care.
It leaches the present in the constant petty copays that are INTENDED to prevent
the common rabble from getting as much medication as they need.
It leaches the future by forcing people into debt with big credit companies to
pay hospital copays.
The way the government is SUPPOSED to work is that when one branch oversteps its
bounds, in this case the puppets in congress are paying the debts to their big
business backers by turning their backs on the public's needs, one of the other
branches is DUTY BOUND to step on THEM!
The kick in the pants is that the founding father's never expected congress to
be SO CORRUPT!!![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You're conflating "health care" with "health insurance".
Getting "health care" doesn't actually require "health
insurance", and arguably "health insurance" has acted to INCREASE
healthcare costs, since there are so many imaginary charges on medical bills
these days (recently, I had some blood testing done in preparation for a bone
marrow transplant - the bill was about $500, deductible was $40, insurance paid
about $50, and the rest was just handwaved away).
On the other hand, I have, in the past, had to get a CT Scan without insurance.
When I told them I had no insurance, magically the price for the CT scan dropped
by 70%....
