What Do People Want for Healthcare? Kaiser Family Foundation has a good poll out. In summary, Democrats are prioritizing: 1. Lowering healthcare costs (My editorial comment: All Americans probably want this) 2. Lowering prescription drug prices (My editorial comment: All Americans probably want this) 3.

Perhaps that’s enough to have in common with ‘our fellow citizens ‘ In order to see each other as our ‘brothers and sisters’ in banding together to preserve-and strengthen-the ability to have and keep, good quality healthcare.

For-profits are also more responsive to changes in service profitability than the other two types. This will really test our attitude about “People Over Profit.” …see more
