please listen to Robert Reich's Words on what he considers to be the way the health care system should look like in this country.

These are the words of Robert Reich, Obama's Labor Secretary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT7Y0TOBuG4

"We have the only health care system in the world that is designed to aviod sick people."

"You young healthy people, you're going to have to pay more."

"We're going to have to, if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of months. It's too expensive. So we're going to let you die."

"Also, I'm going to use the bargaining leverage of the Federal Government... medicare, medicaid.. to force drug companies and insurance companies and medical suppliers to reduce their costs but that means less innovation and that means less new products and less new drugs on the market which means that you're not going to live that much longer than your parents."

Those are mostly children, Mirror.:cry: Many children with muscular dystrophy die young. It depends how severe they have it. Some make it to pre-teens and longer. Adults can have a milder form of it.
Jerry's kids.:cry:

:smile: It also explains why these republican politicians that have been bought by the insurance companies are so big on "states rights" and "leaving it up to the states".:smile: Because the states are already owned by the insurance cartels.laugh
