"I don't get the system as it stands right now. How absurd would it be if I had to go through my car insurance every time I wanted a tune-up or an oil change? or if I had to go through my home owners insurance to paint my bathroom or replace my refrigerator? When did ALL health care start going through insurance?"

Excellent point.

Just a short note:  your guest said something to the effect "way out east" in reference to eastern Oregon.  That about sums up how eastern Oregon is seen and thought of by western Oregon--far far away and maybe not as relevant.  A throw away comment, but telling.
