American Health Care isn't...

I’m a businessman, and in no sense a health-care expert. But the persistence of bad industry practices—from long lines at the doctor’s office to ever-rising prices to astonishing numbers of preventable deaths—seems beyond all normal logic, and must have an underlying cause. There needs to be a business reason why an industry, year in and year out, would be able to get away with poor customer service, unaffordable prices, and uneven results—a reason my father and so many others are unnecessarily killed.

Yeah, WTF is going on here?

mft, you commie bastard, don't you know that clapping at the current healthcare system is the only acceptable behavior on this board ?

Yeah, right. Of course there are monumental screw-ups in medicine, no matter what the "system" is. The point is, though, that Pepe & his fellow pinkos are hammering on this in order to wrest control of a big chunk of the economy, on the path towards more-or-less complete socialization. Marx or bust, that's the mantra.

And, by the way, there is also the little matter of the Constitution. Where exactly does it confer the power to Congress to run the "health care system"?
