“Our current system is based on structures and assumptions that are now 40 to 50 years old and
reflect the realities of the last century, not the realities of today,” said Kitzhaber, who practiced
emergency medicine for almost 20 years before becoming governor. “Without finding the
courage to rethink these assumptions in light of today’s realities, we will be unable to meet the
health-care challenges facing our state and the nation.”

I agree that we need a health care reform but I don't think it should used as a political stepping stone.

very true, but we must also be clear that our priority is health care and we must do our best for the government to worry a bit more to improve the quality of life of millions of people in the United States urgently needed.

California Health Insurance says
Transparency - This should be a defining moment for the insurance carriers to explain why the rates keep increasing. The average consumer thinks its just the Health Insurance carrier behind the rate increases and only points the finger at them because that's who they write the check to every month.
