Nobody is unaffected by healthcare issues. We have read, in some other commentary on this forum, about what the new Obama-led, Democrat-controlled government may or may not do with regard to healthcare. Are we becoming neo-socialists? Will we get the mess that the UK has, where people wait until their cancer is incurable to get a definitive diagnosis and staging? Is the government the answer to all mankind's needs?
