[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need actual healthcare reform. In order to do that, we need actual lobbying reform.

Big Pharma and Healthcare Execs simply can't keep raking in the compensation they are on the backs of the American people. It should not be a for-profit industry. [/quote]

It's a very complicated issue because Healthcare is a number one employer in our country.  Lots and lots of jobs of American citizens depend on Healthcare spending and government sponsored healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid) is a huge chunk of it.  All this added overhead and middlemen and complicated paper and IT systems and bureaucracy are jobs... Not to mention a lot of hospitals, care facilities, nursing homes, physical therapy places, etc survive mostly off Medicare.  It's a problem so long in the making that it has become a self-perpetuating circle of hell.  WE are all paying for employing our fellow citizens, we are all paying for each other to have jobs and get paid.  Lower hanging fruit to starting to fix it is to address fraud and reducing the profits of middlemen, especially if they aren't giving back in the form of good wages for the American employees.

Many on the far-rgiht believe the CEOs of healthcare and big pharma deserve 10,000X the average worker. It's free markets and all. [/quote]
