Maybe we need to change the capitalist system, and put a cap on how much individuals at the top can earn. Spread the wealth more evenly throughout the entire corporation and hospitals/doctor's offices. Allow all the people at the companies selling the stuff to make money off of it. Would that make you happy? Then it won't make a few people rich, it will make a lot of people more money than they have now.

(why are my quotes all in italics? *scratches head* Does it always do that?)

No, see the problem is not that people get rich, the problem is that politicians speak out of both sides of their mouth, and in this case the Dems, who extol this virtue of rescuing the economy is merely, in this case going to make a few people rich with handouts of taxpayers’ money. It is a guise to make the electorate feel good about healthcare spending when in fact they are doing nothing to make healthcare affordable for all with this spending plan. I do support capitalism, where you earn it, not get a handout from the gobberment. Any spending on healthcare in this country will make corps in the back pockets of the Dems very rich, mainly the HMO’s and insurance companies. And in the end the people will get squat. IMHO everyone who voted for Obama because of our healthcare crisis is going to sorely disappointed.
