Was one of my key takeaways from Hillary's healthcare initiative.  But in all candor, there is not a silver bullet or magic wand for curing our nation's healthcare ills.

I think Mrs. Clinton missed out on some ideas that could have served her well and would serve any presidential candidate well.  Specific areas of missed opportunity include: transparency in healthcare pricing, education, personal responsibility and wellness.

As an individual who leans toward the conservative side of the political aisle, I hear all the time that liberals have this mindset that the general population is not really capable as a whole of taking care of itself and it is the government is the solution to our needs.  Now there may be a hint of truth to this, but I would guess that most liberals would strongly argue otherwise.
