12. Matt is correct
There will never be any meaningful reform. Why? Because the legislators are bought and paid for. Our system of government allows for them to be bought and paid for. Money has more voice than individuals. Corporations have more voice than you or me. Once in the halls of power, most legislators happily join the club with no critical analysis of their actions. It won't change.

So, just be prepared to continue paying out the nose for health insurance that may or may not be there when you absolutely need it.

Welcome to America. The greatest country in the world?
