I wish we could trust those in positions of power, but history has shown over and over again that there are a number of us in health care and elsewhere that can not be trusted to do the right thing. Greed seems be much more of a powerful motivator than righteousness. The other thought I have regularly these days is why we as a people made everything so difficult to accomplish. Someone is sick or injured. They get the medical care they need, and the bill is paid. Simple enough. I really think we have placed too many hurdles in the path of patients that are designed to thwart those that engage in less than savory acts. I have to agree with you Nick.
