Of course. It will take some time, but it will get fixed. I have to laugh a bit at the irony of it all, but we need to give this Obamacare a thorough trial, at least.

Who knows if it could turn out, or be changed into something quite good or not?

That's why I wanted a pilot program of it - get the problems with it ironed out THERE, instead of on the national scale.

You sound like a young guy, and although it's rare, young guys do need some serious medical care from time to time. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for older teens, for instance. Band-aid plastic strips just won't do.

When I was in college, a fellow student had to drop out of a class. When the teacher asked why (he was a good student), he replied he had testicular cancer and would be getting treatments that would make him too sick to come to class.

And I lost two good friends when they were young - both to leukemia.

I know you're a bit of an anarchist, but even anarchists need a doctor from time to time.
