If they save your life, yes they are worth it. Why would someone go through 8 years of tough college work, residencies, exams, certifications, and the rest of that for a job that paid $26k a year? I agree that our health care system is flawed, but handing it over to the government is absolutly the wrong answer.
She didn't say 26K a year, she said THREE MILLION a year, quite a difference. And handing it over to Insurance companies is not the answer either... they are in it for themselves.... Insurance companies dictate too much of our lives as it is.
House Insurance, Car Insurance, Contents Insurance, Insurance on the extra valuable that one might own, Healthcare Insurance, Business Insurance, Malpractice Insurance, Liability Insurance, the list goes on and on and on...
They have their thumbs in our pie as much, if not more than the gov't already does.
