Something else about our health care system to consider

If you haven't figured out by now, I am a fan of Michael Ventura and his Letters at 3am column in the Austin Chronicle. In January he had this to say ("110,000 a Year") about our health care system:

... Our health care system is a far greater threat to national security than Muslim terrorists. We don't want to hear that. We don't want to hear that we're endangered less by terrorism than by the passivity of health-care professionals toward managed care, by corrupt lobbying, by overemphasizing the profit motive where it doesn't belong, by insisting on the American medical system when there's ample proof that other systems work better.
