Its about responsibility,priorities and simplicity ,not insurance, greed and materialism

This talk about health care reform is getting rather nauseating. Perhaps I should go to the emergency room. Here is the funny thing about this debate, all the talk is about insurance companies and physicians raising their rates. Now ask yourself how many insurance sales men and doctors are members of the congress or senate? Now, how many lawyers are there? Lately we've been hearing talk of salary caps for executives that are with companies that needed bailing out. That's fine with me, but what about capping lawyers fees? The people who pushed up medical cost and there by insurance premiums along with other living expenses due to outlandish law suits and punitive damage cases.(ambulance chasers) I suppose as the saying goes, you can't bite the hand that feeds. Think about the impact lawyers have on the cost of living. Are any of their actions resulting in a lower cost of living and a better quality of living?

All in all it comes down to personal responsibility. Take care of yourself and your family. If you can't cover your children buy some condoms next time. I would be willing to bet that half of the uninsured people have nicer vehicles than I do. Live in a nicer place. Have all the latest gadgets and all the other trappings of a materialistic lifestyle. In most cases insurance coverage is about choices. Now if celebrities were to walk around wearing their insurance cards hanging around their necks the lemmings may just work to acquire one. Or stop spending their 5-8 dollars a day on cigarettes.

All I ask is not necessarily to agree with me, but rather give this thought line some open minded consideration. If self and lawyer control don't work for you I do have another solution. Not only would it lower health care cost, but it would also create jobs, lower housing cost, and raise the over all standard and quality of life. Regrettably most of America is not ready for this. It's all the PC mud in their eyes.
