And so long as we are willing to accept what is unacceptable, the obscene notion that people's Health Care is nothing more than a commodity to be bought and sold in a 'marketplace', that's all we'll get. Some of us respect YOU and your mom as human beings far more than to accept that when facing such incredibly stressful issues, you should have to add the extra worry and distraction of jumping through any hoops.
