Reply #6: I haven't seen Sicko yet [View All]

and haven't picked a candidate. That said, the health care industry and pharmeceutical companies should not all be considered enemies and demonized. Whoever is elected will have to work with these agencies and I would like it to not have to be in an adversarial role.

I am glad I have health insurance, everyone should. I don't hate my insurance provider. They paid the bill for three ER ambulance runs for me without a hassle. THe drugs they make do me a lot of good. Yes, they make a profit and there are plenty of things that can be made better. I'm not arguing that.

But I don't hate these groups. I'm glad I didn't live 100 years ago because I wouldn't have made it to 58 back then.

Drug companies should not be given cate blanc to do what they want, but if we want to continue our progress on curing desease and extending our lives then developing a positve working relationship with them would be a good thing.
