Subject: concerning the health care broohaha

There is a conflict of interests inherent in a for-profit insurance corporation providing medical coverage for its policy holders and its fiduciary obligations to its share holders. The share holders' interests have priority, which implies minimizing coverage whenever possible. And horror stories have been related in the media during the past 16 or so months that the Congress, largely responding to the dictates of the health care industry's lobbyists, has worked in fits and starts on the overhaul bill. Recall that the 1st red herring thrown out by Palin and parroted by Senator (Korean War draft dodger) Grassley was "death panels." Neither the House nor Senate version calls for such. What they call for is reimbursement to the physician advising on end-of-life care options.
