I fought the same wars that our state is fighting now regarding high costs for health care, which is not acceptable. The problem is very complex for most people because the system has too many players involved whereby none of the players are really willing to compromise to solve the problem. Those major players seem unwilling to give up the money they can make in our present system because our system is so fragmented whereby only the higher income players can play the game. Therefore the government can no longer play the game because it is unaffordable to provide help to millions of our people who also cannot afford to play the game as well.
