   If you think it's getting worse, wait to see what will happen if the healthcare bill gets passed.
   
   The wait will be a lot longer and the quality of care will go further down.
   
   And guess what?  This bill will require everyone to pay for medical care.  Crazy, huh?
   
   Insurance companies will make more and offer less.  Guaranteed.

   I am completely against mandated health care.  For sure there needs to be more regulation and competition.  But mandating health care is not the solution.
   
   Providing incentives for preventative health measures, eliminating barriers to competition, limiting Executive Salaries to a multiple of the lowest paid employee... all measures that can bring balance to the system.
   
   Health care is not free, never will be.  We have a right to quality government and we are not getting it.
   
   The real problem is the inequity created by a fractional reserve system that funnels money to private bankers.  We have an economic system that is based on a perpetual debt model that is unsustainable.
   
   Health care is not affordable because the very system of economic growth (The Federal Reserve) makes it unaffordable.
