Comment: Judy Miller - We had affordable medical care before government got involved. None of us remember that personally, but if you go back and study history, you discover that medical care was very accessible and affordable before the 1970s. It had been getting harder to access and afford since the 1920s when the American Medical Association convinced Congress that they knew best how to treat illness and who should be allowed to do that, but it really wasn't until the 1970s when laws came into being that required Certificates of Need for clinics and hospitals that prices skyrocketed.

So, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat history. We need to REDUCE government interference in medical care and insurance if we want affordable care and coverage, but of course, people like you who refuse to study history will insist we can't do that because we NEED government to be involved in the most intimate details of our lives. You might. I don't!
