ADR in the health-care debate...
 
I don't want to start a political discussion here as I don't think it will be productive. Having said that, ADR patients have a special place in the debate because we've had insurance company bureaucrats getting in between us and our doctors and denying access to long-ago FDA approved technology for years.

A friend sent me links to a film she participate in... I thought you'd like to see.

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films or Sick for Profit. (Same film, both sites.)

Interesting
 
That's all good and well but who is going to see it? It won't have any impact if it's not aired on a major network right?

Years ago, as a small business owner, I had access to a co-op type of insurance that went bankrupt because of mismanagement. I've often thought it could work with enough people. As a non-profit, premiums would be less with more benefits, no lobbyists, little advertising, salaries on a par with non-fortune 500 companies. Only funds held would be for reserves.

Sorry, I think I feel asleep and had a dream... would be nice.

It is interesting that the producers of the film chose to feature the ADR issue.
I too would like to see this get major network air time--I wonder if they've sent it to 60 Minutes, CNN, etc. and if so, what the response was. We can all help by sending the link to friends and relatives.
