I am certainly not a liberal but I do believe that medical care in private hands does not work. And it looks like it never will.


Fight any move to have it run by the Feds. It should be run by the states, with the Feds just setting minimum benefits and providing part of the finances - like Canada.


Yeah, but the grass is not always greener on the other side. I have met Canadians who have come here to the US to get medical care which they either couldn't obtain in Canada or were on too long a waiting list. Out of pocket, they said there was some kind of law up there that they weren't allowed to take out a US policy for that. I guess that this boils down to basic care for regular folks but new cancer treatments only for rich folks.

But something needs to happen in the US, and soon. We can't have about 1/5th of the population without any health insurance at all and just play sitting duck.
