I can't recall that guy's name right now but he's a major supporter tied to the present government. That discussion turned out really worthwhile.

Shocking? Nah. They cut a deal with another provider too, as long as they get their cut.

I went through the entire discussion myself. Even though this is a global discussion board, I don't expect the healthcare and coverage challenges in America to get fixed while I'm still around. He pointed out that profit drives everything. The focus really ought to stay on the individual receiving care.

I was more interest in the other discussion in the article for some reason
