Thinking that only reasonable people can recognize reason. Or even their life's experiences. Doesn't matter what level of education they have at all. Neither of my parents were educated in terms of formal schooling. Yet, they both had the capacity to listen to other people's views.
The health-Care Reform measures haven't even been fully implemented and won't be for a few years. Time will tell us if these measure work well for the many. I am hopeful even though I don't think the bill does enough to knock down the real culprits behind increased costs- the private health-care companies. There is no way that they can continue to make profits of more than 400% and costs be decreased.
I don't have a problem with businesses making a profit, but not over 400% and executives raking in multi-million dollar bonuses with people being denied needed health-care!
Looking at this along with the arrogance of the Wall Street bandits now appearing before Congress, I see no other way but government intervention to protect consumers. And the fact of the matter is that I come from a multi-generational small business family. There is a big difference between private businesses in which there exists honesty and honor in making a fair profit and not screwing people.
