42 million or 9 million it doesn't matter. For the everyday Joe like us the cost are out of control. Something needs to be done. You can talk all the economics you want, with the market corrections or whatever but Healthcare is out of control. I'm not just talking about people not being covered either. My insurance for my family was over $9,000 this year. If we cut administrative costs by even 12% I save almost $100 a month. Plus the fact the people are losing everything over medical bills is hard for me to take. Most of the people aren't slackers, they are working folks like me who had a bad break and have lost big. I can no longer stand on the other side of this. I honestly don't have the answer but we pay people a whole lot of money to work on these kinds of things and they don't seem to be doing their jobs. It is no longer just the fact people can't afford it. It's the fact the we are being fleeced right before our eyes. Other large industrialized countries do it and do it well without breaking the banks. I'm am not a big govt type of guy but the medical industry doesn't seem to be checking itself like it should be. It's not a commodity that people can just take or leave.
