Get your own damn health care

[Prudence]

Because health care doesn't yet suck enough, the GOP has a plan to make it worse! http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...lthcare01.html

It's all well and good to talk about health care consumers making smart choices, but that doesn't address one of the major problems with health care in this country: insurance companies run as publicly-traded, for-profit corporations. The true "consumers" of health care aren't the patients -- or even the doctors. They're the stockholders. If my deductible goes up because as a nation we're using more health care than we're paying for -- that's fiscal responsibility and gets two snaps. If my deductible goes up to cover golden parachutes, stock options, and dividends, that is approaching unconscionable.
