5. What the Gupta is correct!!! The healthcare industry is about 6 months away
from being completely useless and bankrupt itself. As jobs continue to bleed, and the jobs that are left shed expensive health insurance plans to remain vialbe, there won't be enough of these insurance co's left to even sit at the table. Any that are left will be begging for a morsel. Now is the time that we can have a healthcare policy that allows the govt to take over for non-profits. Its the one thing that willinstantly make th enation less stressed and will allow for the medical industry to hire the professional they need. As of now, ER rooms are over run and general practitioners are losing patients due to their customers NOT having insurance. AND we all know, as the baby boomers are retiring, we will have massive need for more healthcare providers; not less.

Perhaps the ins. companies that are left over could sell "extra's".. Like the Aflak type of ins that pay you if you are sick or take absence from work for a baby or longer term illness. and specialize in insurances for cosmetic surgeries. They will have to adapt or become obsolete... But general care for mind, health, and wellness is a right that every man, woman, and child should have access to.
