[PAA-Discuss] Quote re:Medical Insurance System

[Bart Boyce]

by Cheryl Emmons via Houston Cathy ...

The private insurance system is like a cancer. It is analogous to a malignant tumor,
composed of cells that use up all the body's nutrients, while
performing no useful function. In the same way, private insurance is
eating up the health care dollars
that should be spent for direct delivery of patient care. In an effort
to cure cancer, do we open up the patient, do some artful carving on
the tumor to rearrange its shape, and then sew the patient back up,
leaving the tumor intact? No. We do everything in our power to remove
the tumor completely." (Cheryl Emmons).
