Marlene,
No one knows less about healthcare politics than I. But, I am reading on the site that Jack recommended, and it is somewhat eye opening and educational.
Indeed. It's complicated but something we're going to have to grapple/deal with one way or the other.
BTW, it is nice that we are now getting along. I d/c'd the HCTZ and started a large bore IV for crystalloids to keep me from fainting.
