Editor, Times-Union:

The biggest culprits in health care are the drug companies and insurance companies. There are no restrictions placed on them. The amount of money people have to spend out of pocket before the plan kicks in is outrageous.

Washington, of course, gets free coverage. They know  nothing about health care so long as theirs is secure. Taxpayers are paying for it, I’m sure. How lovely.

Some countries restrict what the medical profession can charge. This is drastic, but perhaps it is the answer. Same with the insurance companies. They give with one hand but take away with the other.
