You asked: "...at the same time, isn't this a market driven, capitalistic country?" Well, sort of. The problem is that we have a quasi-capitalistic medical system (and country). The government thinks it has a right to stick its nose into our business because 'they' are footing the bill (with our $$, of course).<BR/><BR/>The only (and I repeat ONLY) way to ever get out from under the government's heavy thumb is to be financially independent. So long as they dictate the terms of Medicaid/Medicare, and those programs fund an essential portion of our expenses, we will have to live with their decisions…as long as ‘they’ hold office, that is.<BR/><BR/>So, it seems that the quickest way to fix the problem is to simply not accept Medicare/Medicare. That will invariably bring charges of cherry-picking only the ‘wealthy’ and all that, but it would solve the immediate problem. A more long-term solution will involve a change in the public’s, and therefore the politician’s, general view of who directly pays for health care delivery in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-66142961032475599022008-06-11T15:15:00.000-04:002008-06-11T15:15:00.000-04:00Good points.
