Nationalized health care is not the answer. The nationalizing it you get efficiency of a Soviet Union Bread Line with the compassion of the IRS. One of the few growth industries in Michigan is Canadians coming over and getting their bodies fixed with access to procedures that their nationalized systems truncate. For example, hip and knee replacements, just to name a few..... Ask any seniors in FLA who are the highest number of transplants; Brits and Canadians, my guess it is not just the weather but the access to health care. Talk to Auto Engrs who actually travel, horrible teeth in Britian and even in Japan with their somewhat nationalized system braces for your teeth and taking care of leg alignment issues are not covered. Go to "Reason" Magazine and read the article on how expensive the Medical Coverage is in Japan for auto-workers. 3rd party payer is the problem. Our modern system came from Kaiser Steel and it cost them so much during WWII they then came up with the HMO. The Fixes ( IMHO )?
So much of this takes thinking and making choices. sadly, that is becoming a rare commodity in the U.S. ******************************************************************************************************* --- On Tue, 12/23/08, Linda <saveearth@...> wrote: From: Linda <saveearth@...> |
