1. Every Health Care Professional I have spoken to...
And I have talked to doctors, nurses, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, pharmacists...you name it...knows the system is a horribly broken mess, expects huge changes, agrees with my assessment that within 5 years there will be a complete and radical change in the system, wants single-payer and they all are just as mad as can be at both the insurance companies and the hospital administrators and companies.

How there has not been a full-scale revolt by health care professionals I will never really know. We are talking white-hot fury out there.

5. Yep, my father recently quit his private practice as a psychologist
because he was completely fed up with dealing with the insurance companies. It had turned into a non-stop battle and his job was stressful enough to begin with, so enough was enough.

2. "Restricting access and denying care. That's how they make
their money." SICKO but true. We need a major overhaul.

3. She did a nice job
coming back at that reporter's tired old canard about the Canadian and British systems. I also wonder why they always ask about those two universal systems and ignore all the other systems that are working in other industrialized countries?
