    I am already nostalgic for the days when I was angry about corporations being given rights that make them of just equal worth to human beings. Now the GOP is enacting policies that harm the lives of millions to give them lower taxes than us.

        If corporations can be people, can people be corporations? Then we would benefit too.

        Middle America voted for Trump because we, collectively, have gotten lazy. We don't ask questions anymord. We believe everything we read and hear on Twitter, Facebook, IG, YouTube and our tv. This is our own fault and it's up to us to change it.

        Corporations employ people and and make up the pensions of cops, teachers and firefighters. Compare that to US doctors. They use occupational licensing to give themselves high salaries and Americans expensive, inefficient healthcare.

        Owning several small businesses in healthcare and compete w/hospitals. We bill the same. I lose 30% revenue that they keep. Hard to compete w/wages for my staff, growth and expansion. I also have never turned an indigent patient away, which is another 10%. My staff needed this!

        Not being forced to purchase something from a private company and losing (having it taken away) something are not the same thing and to imply so is intellectually dishonest

        This takes us back to the first case of a "company" becoming legally liable rather than the negligent un-safe manufacturer himself. What can we do for Healthcare?
