Health Care in the US

Doesn't it seem a bit strange that the people that keep telling us that they will reform health care and make things better for us, our beloved politicians, cannot relate at all to what the average family or person must go through to obtain adequate health care coverage? They have full coverage included even after they leave office so how can they possibly relate to things like co-pays, pre-existing conditions, etc? Wouldn't the process of making health care more available, complete and affordable be better left to people that have actually had to deal with the problem?

And on top of that, why do the same drugs cost much, much more in the US than they do in Canada? Canada is not some third world, underdeveloped country - they're actually pretty civilized from what I've seen and heard. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
