Sheldon - You're the one bringing doctors, nurses, etc into it. I don't see anyone else doing that. My guess is that you want (for whatever reason) to shift the debate from being about the insurance industry (which everyone tends to hate) to being about doctors and nurses (which everyone tends to like). Let's keep the focus on the insurance industry as the topic. My suspicion is that health care workers (ie. people actually treating us) are as much the victim as patients. Wendel - Thanks for speaking out. I especially love hearing about the dirty tricks and tactics the PR industry uses when a client gets desperate. I'd love more information about how to spot these tactics - so, as US citizens, we can be more conscious and informed participants in the debate.

Since when is expanding, rethinking, or innovating "a thing" a crime? I applaud Mr. Potter for making the move he did. I have, what I believe to be, excellent medical coverage - ironically through CIGNA. But that doesn't mean I don't think it could be better. Much better. Don't you think it's the job of good government, big or small, to at least investigate to needs of those who do not have medical care? Imagine if we only "covered" part of country with defense? "Sorry Florida, or Alaksa, or Texas it's just too complicated to provide your part of the country with military defense. Too expensive. Covering you would make government too big. Give it too much power." Too big for what? Too complicated for who? Our priorities are jacked up. Take for instance the recent government bailout of GM. Do you think if a company like GM could have off-loaded health care costs they would have needed a bailout? Apply this to any company and the benefits from a Wall Street perspective would out weigh the costs. Go Wendell Go!!!!
