Reply to "Personal example of why we need health care reform...."

But why react with emotion to a problem? Everyone gets stirred up crazy about health care reform. The problem with our health care is multi-faceted. We have bad doctors, bad drugs, bad hospitals and bad treatment decisions driving up costs. Good doctors pay exceedingly high malpractice insurance because of the bad physicians who are allowed to practice. Patients sue over things as minor as farts and fevers. Drug companies pressure the FDA to push through drugs that have unforseen side effects that cripple and kill people. There are, undeniably, problems with our health care system but none so serious I would want to see the ever so incompetent government take it over. If we think it's bad now, all we have to do is look at the U.S. government's track record on managing anything. FEMA, USPS, Social (In)security, Medicare, Welfare and let's also look at what the government spends on common everyday items. $800 toilet seats and $500 hammers.

The system isn't perfect and can stand improvement but what we have is much more desirable than Obamacare.
