A
Okay, Lee. Tell me about your ideas on this, uh, the U S government supporting health insurance and so forth.
B
Well, I think it's inevitable that we are going to see national health care and the reason is because the market place doesn't seem to have performed adequately, uh, the invisible hand that which Adam Smith wrote has, uh, provided some very good health care and, uh, much, I think inadequate health care. Uh, and in some cases, the absence of health care has resulted from market place forces and I think, uh, it's inevitable. It is just a matter of, uh, time and mistakes and they're both inevitable.
A
Well what is this going to do the insurance companies who are supporting this work now and hopefully are doing, uh, a good job?
B
Well, it's going to make it tough for them and it's going to be a difficult transition. I don't know, uh, how it's going to, uh, play out in terms of the particulars, but I don't think that society will be willing to tolerate the current health care crisis for too long. Our, uh, physical and mental and spiritual health, uh, it's really, uh, very costly.
A
Yes.
B
And, uh, as a society we are paying a staggering price for this.
