i cant believe I'm talking to educated people that really think our health care system is fine. the kinds of things that our politicians should be doing, like trying to fix this mess, they avoid like the plague. but steroids in baseball, now that's something important to capital hill. what a joke. people are always screaming on the democrats for not having any ideas. but when someone like Hillary Clinton proposes a new health care idea,its basically shot down without any real discussion

I am on board with you here. Not Hillary's plan but the fact that our politicians are worried more about things that don't affect us is what pisses me off. Our health care system is broke for a variety of reasons. Mostly due to the meddling and stupidity of politicians who were too dumb to understand what they were doing at the time. Now, today, we have politicians who are too lazy or too worried about poll numbers to do anything about anything that matters. Healthcare being one of the big ones.

I do not have a problem with someone wanting to make health care more affordable and more efficient but it seems everytime that the goverment gets involved the opposite happens. Just look at medicare and social security and the financial problems in those programs. If you think lobbiest are running the country now the problem will become twice as bad. Eveyone will be lobbing to get this or that covered. Politicians will run on platforms saying they will get this or that covered and so on. The problem will just get worse and worse. One of the problems with health insurance now is that the goverment mandates that ins. company cover things that I do not need to purchase which drives up my cost for coverages I do not need.
