Odd Bedfellows
Health and Insurance and Pharma are contributing TO President Obama's push for health care.
Why?
I think it may be that by now, they know a "bubble" when they see one.
Health Care costs doubled in 7 years, and they are increasing at an ever faster pace; this is irrational exuberance if there ever was such.
What would the bursting of a health care "bubble" be like? I mean, what would happen? Is there enough disease and illness to support it? Enough disease, that is, among those with enough money?
Probably not. Then it would start to fall apart.

I think it's falling apart now, but you cannot tell it by the kind of people I frequently encounter. You know, the ones with fairly decent healthcare coverage themselves who project the possibility of all their own opportunities and good fortune onto everybody else. And then condemn them for the consequences of their condition.
Wisdom lies in realizing the possibilties of suffering and the possibilities of joy...and taking steps to build a society that takes steps to minimize the first.
