An interesting piece in Kiplinger’s about the National Federation of Independent Business and Divided We Fail that’s worth checking out. The piece brings up a key argument in the health care reform discussion that cannot be overlooked, which is that even business recognizes there needs to be a change in the way health care is delivered in this country. When Starbucks spends more on health care than on coffee, you know that something’s gotta give.

Health care pricing is what has to change. When it costs a days wage just to walk through the clinic doors ..something is wrong. I don't agree with price controls but for health care I think they have to consider some drastic measures. Its not like the local doctors are going hungry or having to live in substandard housing! The life style of the family doctor is quite 'over the top' these days. Poor, old, young and the sick are not able to afford a visit to the doctor these days, let alone the medications or treatments that they need.
