Well what "is" reform?
Lowering costs out of your pocket... Is that reform?
Lower drug costs... Is that reform?
Putting the brakes on runaway drug costs... Is that reform?
Stopping insurance companies from dropping sick people... Is that reform?
Stopping insurance companies from denying insurance... Is that reform?

Exactly what do we expect from reform?
How do we get there?

And do you really think the "healthcare for profit" insurance companies are
going to allow this "reform" themselves?
Or the insurance owned congress is going to force real reform onto the hand that feeds them?

If CIGNA is going to continue to show a billion dollar profit, and pay CEO's millions,
do you think they are going to want to insure that lady with breast cancer?
Or that kid with leukemia?
Or that guy with diabetes?

Or in the near future, that guy 15#?s over weight, that lady who has a family history of breast cancer, that guy now 35 who smoked when he was 21, that lady with a family history of diabetes?

So just what "is" reform? Just exactly what is going to force CIGNA to insure that lady with breast cancer, or that lady who's mother died from breast cancer?

And just which of the drug companies are going to volunteer to lower their drug costs, freeze current costs, control future costs?

Like Barney Frank once said " just what planet do you spend most of your time on ?"

People not dying on the street. Life expectancies up. No reform.

Damn your posts are terrible.

Your posts are retarded.

No, his post was accurate about your first post, and your second post was (as usual) incorrect.
