| I have noticed a change in males who have heart attacks. They become intensely fearful and very sensitive to the lightest change in their body. They come to ER's for GERD, stomach flu, pink eye, and very very minor compliants because of this change that occured with their heart attack. I think in pa... |

One idea I heard was a Clinic offering coverage for a monthly fee like a subscription. Kind of like cutting out the Insurance middleman. Of course loc... |

| Other countries with universal health care have a much better system that allows it to survive. In the US drug companies are allowed to price drugs however they want, and in turn we have some of the highest priced meds on earth. Ex: The same exact meds, from the same exact company in canada vs US, t... |

It also seems to me that potential problems could at least be somewhat alleviated with some changes to how vaccines are ... |
