Health Care Reform Needed By Everyone
I can’t remember and few today can remember the Great Depression. The textbooks of today have all but stricken from their pages the name of John Maynard Keynes, one of the chief architects of the New Deal, which led to our recovery. Ronald Reagan introduced supply side economics; George Bush Sr.called it voodoo economics. The practices of Little Bush has proven his father right.
Drug companies, insurance companies and hospitals must have competition. They must be regulated and they shouldn’t be allowed to shirk their responsibilities. I’m referring to the fact that should I have an accident or catastrophic illness, an insurance company has been sold my risk and should not be allowed to drop my coverage. There are many practices that go on that need to be changed. Drug companies and hospitals need competition to help hold down the prices they charge.
The government has a role in all the injustices I mentioned. No one has called this socialism, yet is it! We need to take this a step further and reform health care now! It is time we got government off the backs of people and place it on the back of big business such as hospitals, drug companies and insurance companies. It is time our production methods works for me, the middle class.

Mr Treadway..both you and bj38 are right. We already have the best health care in the world,but it’s greatly mismanaged. We need to fix all that is wrong with the system.The current legislation will make things worse and increase debt.
YOu are right that all these need competition but to have the government do it and regulate will turn into totally disaster. You should know the government cannot do anything right. They are total failures in anything and everything they attempt to do. THere are answers but to have the government get involved is not one of them. When you are sick and dying and cannot get any help you will have wished the government would have stayed out. THe governments plan is to legally kill off senior citizens and its coming soon. So all you seniors better ban together and get your ammo out cause you will have to take a stand.
