A group of officials in a county in Washington State are getting an earful of thoughts about the state of healthcare in the United States.  “The system is not broke now, but it will be soon,” said Capital Medical Center chief executive Joe Sharp, who addressed a group of about 110 people at Thurston County Economic Development Council forum on health care.  “Is health care a right? I think it is,” said Sharp. “And if society thinks it’s a right, then we have to figure out how to pay for it.”

Well, there’s the problem - how do we pay for it?  Is it a right?  And if so, what do we do about it?  The answers are appearing much easier to ask than the answers are to discover.
