The truth is, unfortunately, that a lot of doctors and especially insurance companies DON'T look at you as an individual, thereby compromising the quality of your care should you rely on them alone.

Obama promises "hope and change," as though his cure alone will rectify any & all of the failures of America, according to his perception of what America has been, is, and will be (or more accurately "should be" according to "his" viewpoint).
