Health care system is killing us

The health care system in this country is broken and the big insurance companies are making a lot of money that should be going to save Americans. Why is it so hard for Congress to get this point that the current health care system is making the rich much richer, while the majority of their voters are struggling to pay for health care that they may never ever get? (they may die first - 49,000 died last year for lack of health care.)

I needed a leg brace because my old one no longer fit. My doctor sent me to a physical therapist to evaluate me for a new leg brace. The physical therapist said it was next to useless and causing my leg some damage (it was 10 years old). I put in a claim for a new one and it was denied a bunch of times. My physical therapist had to fight the insurance company for a couple of months for me to get one that fits right. How am I supposed to go to work if I can't walk?

This government needs to break up the monopoly that is our for profit health care system; it's killing us.
