6. I disagree: the root of the problem are the unreasonable fees of doctors--it should be illlegal
Actually, it's more a judicial issue than a legislative issue. They charge us whatever they want as it stands,
no matter how unreasonable that may be--no matter what the profit is that they ask.

Moreover, they've got us by the balls (in the case of testicular cancer that's expecially true) as
they can charge us whatever the market will accept in the form of a fee.

How much is your life worth? The answer is simple: how much can they take you for.

This is why Obama's response to the health care dilemma is more reasonable than Clinton's: Obama's looking
at the issue from the point of view of driving down costs, which is exactly where the focus should be.
