Most bankruptcies are caused by medical bills! And they won’t let you keep/protect your primary home! but if you have vacation homes, like many of the rich you can protect them during bankruptcy… Makes no sense.<br /> Medical care should be a right and not a luxury that you have to afford. It is just plain wrong that so many can’t get decent care and have to go to emergency rooms. And then we all PAY to get them treatment.</p> We do need it but especially those who don’t have it!

It wasn’t so long ago the very idea of seriously believing we could get to change it was a pipe-dream. We even wondered whether our ‘leaders’ were screwing up change proposals so badly that it appeared they wanted to undermine the reform.

That’s major.</p> <p>At least we are in a situation where a lot more people see the financial side of the picture as unsustainable and unless the industry improves seriously we’ll have to come right back and fix it some more. But for now I’ll take any good changes Congress can provide. If we persist in seeking the perfection we might not get there before Rs take over Congress again. I say strike while the iron is hot…not just because we want it, but because we need it badly and the stars are right…over the lake.</p> At least I was pleased to hear them talk about competition during today’s round-table.
