What I never like about any reforms is that instead of real debate among professionals that have something to say on the topic and among those that will be affected the most by the reform (read: the people), the struggle/battle becomes just a political theatre with one or the other side collection political points, claiming their "victory". Instead of deciding on what the best solution is, the particular solutions are labelled as too leftist, too rightist, too socialist, too liberal, too whatever. How sad is that?<br />Lorneprimerica insurancehttp://lsminsurance.ca/canadian/term-life/primericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-83715902070443642082009-10-08T12:47:26.748-07:002009-10-08T12:47:26.748-07:00We lurch from one crisis to the next and from the ...We lurch from one crisis to the next and from the left to the right with regularity.<br /><br />Congress makes bad laws, then they have to correct them. They never seem to see the unintended consequences looming down the road.<br /><br />By the time they get through adding amendments to this reform bill so it will pass, there won't be enough left of real reform to wonder why we all bothered.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-47550033340788883622009-10-08T07:51:58.180-07:002009-10-08T07:51:58.180-07:00Lorne: yes -- I'm saying that the way our gove...Lorne: yes -- I'm saying that the way our government works, the current health reform can do no more than make some changes around the edges. As it is developing,it looks like it will cover --SOME -- but not all, of the 45 million uninsured, restrain but not fix the problems created by profit-seeking parts of medical delivery (especially insurers). and do little to control rising costs.<br /><br />And yet it will be progress. These failures are intrinsic to our system of government, for better and worse.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-2073664824170691982009-10-08T06:10:35.618-07:002009-10-08T06:10:35.618-07:00So basically you're saying that the current bi...So basically you're saying that the current bill is not bringing up nowhere near enough change for the system?<br /><br />Sorry if I misunderstood.
