A Rant

I have ranted before and will rant again, About the healthcare in this country I have seen more than mistakes, but outright neglect I have seen things ignored, overlooked, until it is a crisis I have seen lives put at risk and patients left unheard Then, I have seen the accumulating high costs That can change everything for people As companies and doctors make their money When some things aren’t even solved and people suffer It is only acceptable for those without a conscience It cannot go on like this, as the system is too complex Controlling the weak who are in need of help It is time for a change, it is time to save lives Heidi Sands 5/3/18 *Entry for A Rant contest.

Well said Heidi, it always comes down to money and profit, if it doesn't make a profit we'll skip it, we're human beings. Care should be given to all and not just the rich. Good luck Tom

Your rant is justified! One of the networks here is having a series of segments about those people medical expenses have or are ruining, and many people are sending in contributions to help free them from medical debt. There's just something wrong!
