I am an experienced ICU nurse with a Masters Degree in Nursing, and an MBA in Healthcare Administration. I am frustrated by the limitations of the current healthcare debate going on in the U.S. These are my thoughts and feelings about the Fundamental Flaws of our healthcare system, and the proposed changes.

Insurance Industry Takeover
We are apparently going to hand the keys to our medical care to the sole gatekeeper, the Insurance Industry. Shouldn't it be the medical community that runs healthcare? Instead we are putting the for-profit insurers as the only way to access medical care for our bodies. They restrict healthcare providers in what they can do, and dictate to them how to do their jobs. We are not cars that might get into an accident. We are human beings who need the help of doctors and nurses to maintain our health, and sometimes to save our very lives. Does this Insurance Industry takeover of the Healthcare system bother anyone else??!!
