Really, there are only two LITTLE problems...

I will admit I have not yet (nor will I) read all 2,000 plus pages of the new health care reform law. I will also admit that I fully support reforming our health care system. The problem (there are at least two actually) is that the health care reform we are getting failed to address the two biggest issues with our current health care system. If these two issues are not addressed the rest of the problems can never truly be solved.

1. For-profit health care is an oxymoron. It is simply impossible to simultaneously maximize both shareholder value and people's health.
2. Our health care system operates under the flawed fundamental principle that maximizing the quantity of a persons life is the primary goal. This is just plain wrong. The goal of health care should be to maximize the quality of life not the quantity of it. Often an increase in the quality of a persons life will in fact lead to a greater quantity of life but the opposite simply does not hold true.
