Craig,

It is truly a disgrace that there is not comprehensive and universal healthcare.

I personally have never understood the logic of why insurance companies earn huge sums of money as the middle man. We pay millions of dollars for them to push paper. This healthcare model - based on people as "automobiles" is nonsense. We have a responsibility to each other.

As a healthcare provider (mental heath) let me share that licensed professionals are also at the mercy of the insurance companies. We have become the "needle-trade" of the 21 century. (As professionals - we have no right to organize - which is probably a remnant of other times). The reimbursements for services have not been adjusted for at least 15 or more years and in some cases even lowered. If this trend continues there definitely will be a shortage of service providers.

I am able to provide service only because I am retired with a "DEFINED PENSION PLAN" a rare commodity these days.

The lack of universal health care - our juvenile political climate, a lack of social responsibility and the manipulation of issues by vested interests is horrific.

My daughter is now in a predicament where she has to wait three months to begin to be covered by health insurance on her new job - And she works for a Health Care Corporation!

Even from a "market" point of view - the lack of portability of insurance - hinders the free flow of labor - since many people stay with employment - suitable or not - because they have health coverage. It makes no economic sense.

Keep up the good fight!

Mark
