This week the epic health care bill passed.  Will it work?  Will it save millions of uninsured Americans from deciding between their health and bankruptcy?  I have no idea.  I hope it works.  But I’m not a soothsayer.  What I have a problem with are the “end of the world” scenarios that we’ve heard over the past few days.  That the Health Care bill is the worst bill to ever be passed in the history of the United States.  Really?  Worse than slave laws?  Come on.  We’re one of the only first world countries that doesn’t have universal health care.  We’re not going down the road to ruin…we’re actually running to catch-up with everyone else.

The truth is…the insurance companies screwed this system up.  Want to blame anyone…blame them.  Maybe the Health Care Bill won’t solve anything…but the bill would have never come to pass if the insurance companies weren’t so gluttonous. Doctors all over the country whether it be a San Diego hair transplant specialist or the dentist known for his super dental implants in Flagstaff are all fighting to be heard. This is what happens in any business when the corporations get too greedy.  Look at the music industry…they started charging $20 a CD and the people said…”no!” and found another way to get their music.  This time for free.
