  4. unfortunately our health care system is the exception to the rule that "you get what you pay for". most of our physicians are more interested in making the most money they possibly can, rather than...
  5. Nialloh: I did write a very detailed response to your post # 227, but it got swallowed by the web monster, before I could submit itearlier (see reason for edits). I'd reconstruct it, except it's clear...
  6. We need reform That is the only part of post #228 is all I can agree with. Nialloh and Spidey's mom: You've been swallowing the propaganda from the party representing big businesses, that lost the...
