It surprises me how rude people can be sometimes. We have a thread about Sicko that you're more than welcome to post in. Lashing out at someone because they're sharing their experience with horrible circumstance and inadequate health care isn't an open invitation to start a political bash contest. This is General Discussion, not Politics.
Maybe you can share with us all the experience you've had with the health care industry. Can you, as a self described worker in the health care industry, explain why I wasn't give the second coarctation of the aorta repair surgery because it wasn't cost effective, and now I have severe, detrimental health effects that make my regular exercising a tightrope walk between staying healthy and having my aorta pop out into my chest like a garden hose? Explain to me why Kaiser, a non-profit, decided that they'd rather pad the upper management's pockets instead of opening me up and fixing me, while I pay exorbitant costs for me medical insurance.
