everyone that calls Hillary a socialist...well maybe her ideas are a bit socialist and againest our 'capitalist' ideology. But the capitalist ideology only works if everyone is playing fair and by the same rules (which they are not). When is the last time you saw an advertising saying '50% MRI tests this week only' from your local hospital??? Or how about price competition in the oil industry (and no i am not talking about 2 gas stations having a price war across the street for each other or grand openings). I'm talking corporate sponsored discounts....
wait i remember one...up to 20 cents off per gallon of gas .. as long as you sign up and are approved for a visa master card that Shell runs and operates.

Why would they?
Healthcare in this country is terribly fucked up. 1 in 3 health workers works in billing. The reason for this? Because the fucking, GOD DAMNED insurance companies are so fucking hard to get money out of, it damn well takes an army for a doctor's office to get paid what is due it. A good many things that are wrong with this country can be traced back to insurance companies. They sure don't bitch about taking premiums from policy holders, but when it comes time to pay, good fucking luck.
Insurance companies can be glad I am not king. I'd legalize what they like to call insurance "fraud". In all but a few cases, its policy holders just trying to level the playing field and get what they are entitled to and because of the way these bastards operate, they have to lie and make things up. Better yet, I'd fucking put them all out of business. People don't realize how much better care in this country would be if they were able to shop for their own care and simply pay as they went.
I'd also make it illegal for any employer to pay an employee's medical plan. The employer should pay the employee and then the employee can take his money to his own provider or put it in his pocket.
