That's a good thing. I like the fact that doctors created the plan (though as a whole I tend to think of doctors as greedy rather than purely humanitarian). I'm still not sure what it will mean to small business owners, a group I feel very supportive of. Ever since the ridiculous switch over to the choose-your-own-plan thing, I've felt it put a burden on seniors. I have an excellent broker who got me the coverage I wanted at a price I could afford. It didn't matter to him which plan I chose as he was paid equally for enrolling me in any plan. I'm not clear who paid his fee though, and I thought having to get a broker in order to choose the right plan showed right away the system was flawed.

Universal care, socialized medicine, a national health plan, call it what you will, it is inevitable and might help bring our country's healthcare back to a place where we were on a par with other developed nations.

we need a more rational system of health care, one that recognizes that there too much health care and that the excess must be reduced on a fair and equitable basis.

has anyone heard from dr. jack recently?
