Military and health care costs have spiraled out of control because no
one wants to appear anti-defense or take on the huge $ in pharma,
non-profit (cough, cough) hospitals, nor face the wrath of their
campaign finance coffers.

Medicine spends about 4 times as much lobby money into our politicians
as the military industrial complex.


And, your conclusion is that we should not regulate hospitals,
insurance companies, or equipment manufacturers, or allow Medicare to
negotiate prices with them. Also, according to you, big money flowing
to politicians is just fine.


Try to pay attention. I never said bribing congress was OK. On the
contrary I have been saying that is why we are in as much trouble as
we are in.
There is nothing that is much more regulated than the medical
industry, what we don't do is make the system any cheaper.
The way it is set up, it will always be getting more expensive.

If I could wave a wand, I would outlaw advertising for candidates,
lawyers and the whole medical establishment.


Try to be intelligent. Oh yeah, you can't.

If you read the ****ing article you'd know how things can be fixed.

If you could waive a magic want, I'd rather have a hellfire shoved up
my ass.
