You forgot to mention CEO pay. I'm sure these guys deserve every penny of their multi million dollar compensation,(sarcasm alert) How about spending a quarter million dollars to keep 80 year old cancer patients alive for a another couple of months,good idea? There are so many things wrong with our system it's overwhelming to contemplate. Obamacare also known as Romneycare is a scheme to make people think they are getting some progress,they did fix some of the worst like denial of coverage for preexisting conditions but mainly it was nothing but tinkering around the edges and protecting profits of the big insurance and pharmaceutical corps. Too many Americans seem to have a knack for swallowing BS and defending systems that screw them.
