Most all of my comments are wise, or at the least, they are based on personal knowledge or experience. The reason is that I spent 30 + years in this field, fully understand insurance, health care administration, Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, law, political process, and I have a doctorate degree. In addition, I am a Board Certified lawyer in this particular area (government and Administrative law) - it is natural that I know more about all of this than others. The problem is that people no longer understand that they don't know things. The problem, nowadays, Instead of holding 'opinions' which is fine, people think they actually know and understand things, which they do not know or understand. I call this "the age of the Wikipedia intellectual" -- I would never, ever, presume to know the details of recruiting military enlisted members, except in some general understanding of e military or sales. Any details, I would be fully dependent upon the knowledge of those who have actually done it. But in this day, people pop off with opinions they gather from partisan nonsense, or from listening to other people who know nothing. When I am on an airplane, I want to know what the pilots onboard know and think, not the people in first class who fly a lot, but really don't know. That's the problem. Opinions, which are fine, are nowadays confused with factual knowledge. This may seem grandiose or self lauding, but it is just true. When I have a cardiology issue, which I in fact know a lot about, I am going to listen to my cardiologist, not Glenn Beck.
