You refer to my letter as circular and conflicting. Yours is from the planet of confused and disoriented. “Love one doctor and trust them all?” That makes no rational sense and doesn’t remotely relate to what I wrote. Pharma is out to make money period. Selling a generic that cost $5 to produce for $90 – do you think that’s reasonable? That’s the reality of free enterprise along with multi-million dollar payouts to insurance CEOs and denials for the insured. I think doctors should be fairly paid for their time, education and experience. That’s the value – not your reference to the infinite value of a life. One has nothing to do with the other except when a doctor is sued by someone who thinks they are owed infinite compensation for an error. Nothing in my letter said CHIPS is representative of government insured healthcare. I too am well aware of the joys of being uninsured or underinsured. I never represented CHIPS as a model plan but you have to admit that it has been a help to many with no other options.
