8. LOL... It's obvious that keeping it "front and center" accomplishes nothing. Where's the legislation?

Over thirty years of keeping it "front and center" and we still have no legislation. Time for a new approach. Time for something that's more realistic, no? Any progress, no matter how small would be better than NOTHING. And so far, the talk has resulted in nothing, wouldn't you agree?

>> If you're happy or comfortable with the status quo of our health policies...

Please. Spare me. What a weird thing to assume about me. I've been very clear. The time for talk is over. Let's see some legislation. No more whining and complaining. No more finger pointing and finger wagging. It's time for someone to lead. It's time for progress.

>>Bernie is right to keep this critical issue front and center whether it makes people uncomfortable or not until its' rectified.

The only thing that makes me "uncomfortable" is the mistaken belief that complaining is a substitute for DOING SOMETHING. I hear a lot of words, but I see no action. — Rectified by whom? In your estimation, who does Bernie expect to come along and "rectify" it? What's the delay? Why wait? Why wait for someone ELSE to do it? Where's the action?

It's all very clear to me. Since talk talk talk accomplishes nothing nothing nothing, I really do question *who* it is that's actually more "happy or comfortable with the status quo" (if I can borrow a little p/a phrase that I've read recently).
