don't get disabled or fired because there is no net for you out there right now...

It's not the like the government has ever known what to do with the hundreds of thousands of disabled people throughout our country from children born with organs outside their skin, in need of transplants.

Then there's the high rev lifestyle where exciting adventures on dirt bikes, or setting sail on the high seas, leaping off cliffs attached to rubber bands, which lead to potential accidents which have paralyzed and or maimed millions, taking away their independence.

Yes, it would be exciting to think we could have healthcare reform which worked like this: anyone experiencing a broken back, would automatically be given the genetic makeover required to heal it, though costing an arm and a leg (bad joke, but probably true) if we don't deal with the real problems, divvying up the pile of dough for all.

Obviously hypothetical, but that future is so close, that it will be a consideration in the near future. That's called looking ahead and planning, a simple sort of concept.

The players: the insurance companies, John Garamendi knows them as do others here in California.
I could add some personal anecdotes but I will save them for when we discuss this issue with the insurance companies themselves.

That's an easy one.
Pharma, is about as entracted as the tobacco industry, aren't they related?

Whatever your situation, healthcare can "easily" be reformed and nobody would be severely limited or put unfairly out of business. If it has the goal of not just saving lives, but making people healthy so they can work, go to school and contribute, then yes, that's an easy answer.

But what are the complications? Oh boy, that's where it gets fun. We will get there soon.
