    Health Care, or Care About Health?

    Yeah, just get me that magic bullet so I can eat all the Big Macs I am told I want, and suffer not at all, now or later. If we are what we eat, we are in BIG trouble. Don't read the ingredient list on those frozen meatballs; this is stuff we ought to be sending to the Taliban (they won't eat the meatballs)! But Big Pharma will take care of me; right? After all, it's rolled at least four solutions in search of problems out the door just since last September! And each drug costs only $1,000 per month. I know, it's ridiculous to allow insurance companies to make the health decisions instead of the doctors. But what if WE made those decisions (daily)?If "health care" means patching the falling wall, we cannot win this fight. If, on the other hand, we build a new wall out of the wind, then we have a fighting chance. Oh, gotta go; the pizza arrives in ten minutes. . .
