Does anyone see what is happening  to insurance with the onset of
HMO'S???
How do you feel about it and what do you think the future will bring??

brush and floss

All health care for profit is going to have to go.  The patients need
professionals who are in it for the public good.  More and more people
you talk to now resent the crummy benefits the cheap corporations they
work for give them, and the assembly-line care they receive from  many
pseudoprofessionals, as those companies they work for and the health
care corporations, including drug companies and medical equipment
companies continue their larcenous and am{*filter*}practices against society
in order to pay the CEOs big bucks and make the stupid stock market go
to 8000+!  Isn't that wonderful?  There are still m{*filter*}professionals
around, they are just getting very hard to find.  There is still some
great health care out there, but it isn't available to everyone.  If
these excuses for humanoids insist on making so much money, they should
go into manufacturing or something.  No matter what they say, health
care does not have to cost what the propagandists say it does.  

Live and let live...

Karen, R.N. and happy to be out of the stupid mess of a system.

If you look back over the last 15 years you can see the direction that this
has gone and if you're smart, you'll realize that it's going to continue
just the way it has for the past 15 years for the next 15 years so, bottom
line is, it ain't good. kw>
