[quote=6packscaredy]If the shutdown is the solution there will be no more governance by majority.[/quote]No, it demonstrates that what was once the majority, is no longer. Don’t forget the effects of swing voters. The House changes faster than the Senate due to the length of term in office and how often we vote for them.
[quote=NicMM]Back to the health care cost. In Bay Area, I found there are some for profit doctor groups which don’t take insurance at all. But their charges are very reasonable. I took my foreign visiting family members there, the visit is $90 each. Lab work is a little over $100. Medicines like antibiotics, blood pressure medicine or Lipitor is $10 ~ $15 a bottle. It is totally affordable to go there.[/quote]I found something similar when I told places that I would pay cash.. that they did not have to deal with insurance.
