Timely  access to good care and
prevention is a huge problem in our  country.




Personal responsibility and life style diseases and an assumption that  
someone else should pay for the privilege (not right) to receive health care is  
even a BIGGER problem in our country.    Prevention is a good  thing, but if we 
are really serious about prevention, then we MUST do something  about smoking, 
drinking while driving, drug misuse, availability of guns and  other weapons 
especially when there is a mxture of ETOH, drugs, and  excitement, driving 
fast, etc.   Our criminal justice system also  needs to be reformed to assure 
quick appropriate judgement and punishment for  breaking the law.
