I sincerely hope that Congress will listen to those in the health care workplace. I'm all for some changes but the *rush* is foolish. And let's face it...what does Congress know about medicine, doctors, medical insurance, and what is best for those struggling with illnesses and the bills? No big deal for them; they are always well cared for.

"..not patient focused or results oriented..." Yep! Hello elected Representatives!
