ocrenter,
If you had the slightest clue what was going on in health care, you might believe differently. These are extreme times we live in. Your future, your children’s future, and theirs’ has been mortgaged with the proceeds stuffed into the deep pockets of the few. Those who control are so far removed from the common experience that only the mandate to generate the highest return on capital investment takes priority. In fact, it is illegal for a corporate board to act in any other interest then their shareholders. These are the people who are deciding what kind of health care we are all receiving.

Just as the debt bubble is a house of cards and must eventually crumble, so must the illusion that corporations care about your health. Believe me, they couldn’t give a sh*t about anything except your $$.

un,
I read a great book last year that expands on your comment that profit takes priority over all else in todays heavily corporate world. It points out how common decency is being lost, and being successful is now synonymous with having money (or the appearance of having money). When parents describe their grown children, the ones making lot’s of money will be labeled “successful”, with very little importance being placed on whether or not they are actually happy.

The book is called “Is the American Dream Killing You”? It was a good read.

The greed and corruption (and lack of common decency) that have been discussed in relation to this recent housing bubble are perfect examples of what the book points out.

Unfortunately, it didn’t really go into detail about how to improve things.

I think I may have some clue to what’s going on in health care.

sounds like it is time for you to retire, old man.

Upon considering your advice, I think I will retire (from this site). I wish you all the best.

Aw, heck, Doc, ignore the young rude punks. Stick around. It would be good for the rest of us to have the counsel of a physician ‘onsite.’

The doc’s advice is 100% correct. I disagreed with #7 for a bit until I thought about it. We’re not totally in control of how long we live, so it’s more about making the most of your time here. And when you get right down to it, whether you die in a car crash at 30 or of cancer at 70, it’s going to feel like you didn’t live long enough. Probably only the healthy people that die peacefully in their sleep at age 95 feel like they’ve had enough of life, and there’s not many of those…

ocrenter:

rude and crude. Can’t believe you are running Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking. had enjoyed that site. Don’t normally attack on first strike but I think jg will pardon me this time:

“Do you have a clue about what’s going on in health care because you take more meds than Paris and Lindsay”? Apologies to Don Imus
