Excelman, I hope you don't rely on PBA any of your information. I have yet to see anything but an opinionated article without facts. As for Canada's healthcare system, many Canadians are coming to the states for healthcare because in Cananda the doctors are not as good and the waiting time for any type of procedure is much longer.
Actually, I'm relying on my memory, but now that I've gotton old, get CRS on occasion.
I don't believe Hillary proposed a nationalized health care system. I know, her political opponients said that, but that was not the case.
Do you object to some way that insurance companies could be pooled in such a way as to offer an affordable insurance plan, or would you rather continue to suppliment hospitals thru taxes and your insurance to provide health care to those without insurance? The only other option I see is to refuse anyone without health insurance or cash in hand and let 'em get well or die.
I think Bill Clinton had a good idea in to help young doctors get their degree in return for serving their country in free clinics or the military , but of course the Republicans would have none of that! It may actually help people without increasing the profits of the medical field. (Remember Bill Frist of Tenn owned hospitals)
