I agree that pharma is not all bad - nothing is generally "all or nothing" in life - many lives saved by these drugs - giving people more time with their loved ones on earth. I agree with Bill - if it were "a few more bucks" - and I know that is all relative - it would be one thing - but it's often not - it's 20 to 1 or something....we the "average" people are going broke and I've heard it said by policy makers that healthcare and aging population will bankrupt this country. It is quite a mess. I have no easy answers. We could go back 100 or so years and well - people just died. Many of us here on the forum would already be dead. I'm not sure if quality/quantify, etc. etc. can every be figured out in any rational way - it's an ethical and moral dilemma. Have you all watched "How to die in Oregon" on Netflix? I'm not saying I want to die - but this was a great documentary on the subject of death with dignity...another controversial topic. As you guys know, health care keeps many alive way too long and the suffering in nursing homes is unfathomable - and it's all about the money they get. Well, I'm off to the races today, aren't I?
I hope you all are having a good day. Mine is good, and I take a good day now with such amazement and gratitude.
