Look at the change in mortality! I agree. But the insurance companies, under the guise of "managed care" are turning these advances around. In our area, the number of seniors who are finding their Medicare-Plus plans going south is increasing progressively. I do not fear the Government; I fear the big insurance companies with their executives and their 7-figure incomes. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M.
