Healthcare, oh healthcare.  I worked in the industry for over 7 years and in my opinion what people are missing is that it's not healthcare itself that's the issue, it's the bureaucracy and legislation that surrounds it.  I give bonus points to the democrats for at least recognizing there's a problem and trying to fix it, but I subtract those bonus points for their "fix" making the problem even worse.  The key to "fixing" the heath care "problem" goes to tort reform and revising our patent law.  In other words, it is so fundamental to our legal system, that it will unfortunately never happen until the country goes completely bankrupt or until people wake up and fundamentally reform the government.
