It just dawned on me, not that this is a new thought, that our entire health care system is not designed to make and keep people healthy but to extract as much profit as possible from illness. Sure, you can have tort reform, which is AMA and ATA battling it out for which of them makes more profit out of the system, or set up HMO's or medicare or medicaid or even universal health care - but until society truly decides that decent health care is something that civilized societies have, and not a market driven commodity, different policy approaches are essentially meaningless. 11:41:35 PM
