No one gets into business to lose money -or even to break even and I think many people tend to lose sight of that.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying that the system doesn&#8217;t need to be better.

Or, if malpractice reform and buying across state lines alone could be the answer to a more efficient system. Will I watch the 6 hour summit today?
