over the mountain

What Joe said.^^

The problem to me with our system is not really lack of access. Nobody in this country should have a lack of access. The problem is cost cost cost cost cost. On one hand it COSTS way too much for anybody except the very rich to pay for out of pocket. On the other it is a very specialized industry that is never going to be "cheap". Does it cost too much? Yeah. Will it ever get cheap enough that $150 a month for insurance is reasonable? I very highly doubt it. Obamacare or whatever we want to call it didn't do much at all to really fix the fundamental problem of cost. Fixing malpractice won't either. There are other reasons it cost so much. Some of them can be fixed and some can't.
