I don't see much hope for healthcare reform, no matter what 'they' do. The 
whole system is so screwed up. My kids have health insurance, supposedly 
GOOD insurance, through their father's employer. But their primary physician 
is over 50 miles away. There is not one single physician in my county that 
their health plan will accept. My son got a physical for something, then 
needed a physical 8 months later for his learner's permit for driving (geez; 
I didn't need one, but that was many years ago). Anyway, the company 
wouldn't pay for 2 in a year, but the DMV wouldn't accept one over 6 months 
old, so the Dr. had to make up some excuse (ingrown toenail) to bill for. My 
ex's company changes providers every couple of years, and more often than 
not,. the kids have to find a new doctor. Thank goodness we don't have any 
on-going health problems, so it doesn't really matter. I just roll my eyes 
and hope we don't ever really need healthcare.
