I don’t mind the principle of health care for everyone, perhaps people’s health care whould not be involved with profit, sa it is with, say, the purchasing of an automobile. But I don’t want a federally run system because the fed govt has such a poor track record. Socialism doesn’t seem to work very well.

Have your cholestrol checked. Fish oil can backfire resulting in an increase in your levels. You’re better off eating some fresh fish.

If you’re truly concerned about health care costs, then you should get behind the idea of universal coverage. The real culprits behind the money drain are the insurance companies – they have placed themelves squarely between doctors and patients, and their only function is to suck every last dime.

No one will argue that good nutrition is a good idea. But I’ve never visited a doctor who said otherwise. The people pushing the pills are the ones who manufacture them.

Your heart seems to be in the right place, but your solutions are, at best, misguided.
