Passing a Health Insurance Law reaks of Corporate Corruption. I see nothing that resembles Health or Care in a system that demands we pay Insurance executives in order to get emergency care.

I agree. The apologists for the current mess like to blabber about the "free market," but this proposed Rube Goldberg scheme of tax breaks and subsidies and fines has nothing to do with the free market. It isn't about anything other than protecting the profits of the health insurance companies. The health insurance companies are like a giant tumor which grows and grows and grows until either we cut it out or it kills us. To M S: The five-year survival rate tells you NOTHING about whether anyone is living longer. The only statistic that means anything in this regard is life expectancy. And life expectancy in the UK is higher than in the US. The reason five-year survival rates for cancer are higher in the US is that we screen more and so detect (and in some cases, treat) more slow-growing cancers that never would have bothered the person until he died of something else. It's got nothing to do with anyone living longer.
