I agree, Mrs D. There are problems, BIG problems. Greed can obscure the public good, and it has (in my opinion) in not just big pharma, but the auto industry, tobacco, the list goes on. How many times have we heard "they've known that for ten years but they covered it up"?

I also agree that we need accountability, "watch dogs", and that we need to be our own health care advocates. Amen! Education is our friend.

Most of the time, I think I know where the line is between careful and paranoid. I don't want to be all la-la-la, I'll just do what they tell me to, they know what's best for me, I'll ask no questions. I'm just seeing the pendulum swing from where, as a society, we trusted everybody to one where we don't trust ANYbody.

Maybe it's just me having a mood.
