Or those who have health insurance that  gives them some choice about their care? Or those who are shuffled through the many HMO's whose raison d'etre is profits rather than the health of their patients? Or those who are rich enough to own their doctors? As for high taxes: about 40% of my paycheck is poof gone by the time I cash the check. Some goes for SS which, I am told, I should not expect to see much of when I retire and most goes for military spending about which I have no say. Forget health care, education, etc. Jordan, you're seriously pissing me off.
