can we fix it please

What do we do now?

That our health care system is broken should not be a matter of question. That some one needs to do something would be questioned only by those who are making a fortune like it is. But it is badly broken.

So what happens now?

Looks like nothing will happen, or nothing much. A landslide victory, a huge majority in the legislature is not enough.

Who looses? The whole country. Each of us. You and me. Our grandkids.

I don't really care how it is fixed, I do not care whose plan you use, but soon 1/5 of our national earnings will go to health care, about twice as much as any other industrialized country.

We have been buying bad bread.

But it is better to destroy than fix. It certainly is easier.

Our whole country is like that right now.

We are closer to mob rule than any of us might wish.
