Sixty-five percent of personal bankruptcies are due to health care costs. Meanwhile the CEOs or drug companies and insurance companies get 8 figure salaries, this is sensible?

Any country's greatest asset is its people, yet here most people are running at half power. What is the biggest adverts on TV - medications that are designed to allow people to get to work even though they are sick. I always told my staff to saty home if they were sick because I did not want them to come in and spread it around.

The drug companies and health insurance companies are only interested in profits and will go to any lengths to keep them high. Several health insurers are currently being investigated for fraud. Private enterprise may have its place but that is certainly not in the health care field.
