Taking over the medical industry??? What is wrong with a rule that insurance companies must pay 80% of their fee rates they bring in for the medical care of the people they insure!. That surely will be helpful to bring medical cost down for families. the leading cause of the bankruptcies in this country is medical costs. A Harvard study has found that 62% of bankruptcies in this country is due to medical costs. http://tinyurl.com/cb5k3ga. Harvard is a well respected university.
During the Los Angeles riots of 1992, Rodney King famously asked, “Can’t we all just get along?” The answer should be an easy and unequivocal “yes,” but it seems less and less likely these days.
King was speaking in term of race, but the same could be said of political ideology. Liberals, conservatives and every other point on the political spectrum used to co-exist fairly easily (with the exception of left-wing anarchists who don’t get along with anyone). But these days détente has given way to anger and open hostility.
Some, not all, people have become less civil to those...
One wonders if you're as incensed over Starbucks making the profit it does as you are over a doctor who has every reasonable right to expect that he be compensated according to what the market will bear (as opposed to what some third-party know-nothing considers 'fair')

Who are you to tell a private, legally operated company and its shareholders what it's pricing model should be or how much money they are allowed to make? If you don't like the price of healthcare, you think you're just entitled to tell everyone in the system how much they can charge for their labor?
Talk about Marxism...
Well respected by who? A bunch of ivory tower academics who have no clue about the real world?
