    Have dental no medical. If you hVe insurance you're ripped off because they bill them whatever they feel like. Without you pay a rather at cost price. They still profit but don't charge $30 for an asprin when it costs a mere 4 cents. That is why health coverage is so expensive.

    Right, the health care profession is an absolute racket, and if you think Insurance pays that $30, you're crazy. The intention of this bill was to fix said racket of unethical medical treatment by both doctors and insurers, but politics got involved and diluted the shit out of a great thing.

    Agreed

    Be hard to change though, lobbyists and health providers in general are a crucial part of our economic well being.

    This. I actually believe that the only reason we don't go to a flat tax is because too many accountants/tax people would be killed by jobs lost. Same reason gov't propped up GM and lost $10b on that transaction. Too many jobs to take a chance at losing
