		<description>Totally agree with:

&quot;you have to trust yourself to manage your health and the physician of your choice to manage your medical care.&quot;

&quot;If the solution to a failed system is to force it on all people, making those who succeed pay for those who fail, and making those who want to have private insurance pay for those who don’t, we will all be doomed to talk about the great country that was The United States of America.&quot;

How about we start from scratch, go to a wide open pay for service system with cash.  Catastrophic insurance could be optional, but mainly this would bring competition back into the market.  More doctors, more choices, better care.

The Government can&#039;t even manage deliver the mail without bleeding red ink.  How the heck are they going to manage the largest federal bureaucracy ever created with some sort of efficiency?  I think not!

I think everyone should remember that government officials who make top level decisions at government bureaucracies are in the business of getting elected.  Short term popular decisions are made to get votes!  If they did have some long term solutions to America&#039;s myriad of issues, they would be in the free market profiting from it.  The most successful politicians are not on Capitol Hill, they&#039;re in the board rooms and corner offices of America, TURNING PROFITS!

Governments continued influence into free markets, continues to weaken our countries ability to adapt and change.  The creation of new and better technologies are accelerating.  Who thought 5 years ago technologies like Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, iPhones, Texting would be driving communication, advertising, news media, ...etc.  Markets must change or they become obsolete in this day and age.  

Change...its what government is know for, right?

Enough ranting for now...</description>
