Team players should be on board with Dr. Livingston, whose desire to preserve and grow America's medical-pharmaceutical-insurance complex while protecting its trade secrets and price-structuring from prying public eyes should set an example for everybody.

After all, "health care" is one of Alaska's only two growth industries. Productive Alaskans should be forced to pay whatever is necessary to keep the industry growing and prevent losing $2.8B of Medicaid funds, perhaps through a Special Health Insurance Tax.

Of course, any "discussion" about giving Alaskans access to the same health insurance, at the same cost, as their congressional delegation should not be allowed.
