Lets start here - What is it that you don't want the gov't to furnish ?
Why would anybody with good sense rely on rationed Government furnished healthcare when the very same entity has the burden of payment for a recovered patients' Social Security Check ? What will happen when there's no more "rich" democrats e.g. hollywood, Hank Paulsen Investment Banker, Ellison (Oracle) and / or Warren Buffett types left to tax, then where does the grim, institutional government, poor excuse for hospitals get their $$$ ?
When there's no choice left, and rationing becomes mandatory, who are the "expendable" patients ? It's all very plausible, IMO.
We're in a stranglehold because corruption exists in both political parties, corruption exists in non profit entities, corruption exists in capitalism, corruption exists within the framework of socialism, what ? do you think that the washington politicians are going to have the same fly by night health care that they would short-supply to The People ?
:ring ring: " Hello, Doctors office . . . y . . yes, Hello, Nancy (Pelosi) . . . .Let's see, the soonest I have is in seven weeks, would you like that appointment ?"
Are you kidding me ? They'll get same day service for a heart transplant.
I will always opt for the capitalist system every time. Why should I worry about somebody making more than me ? I don't envy anybody, never have, never will.
Socialism was built upon the principle of envy, so I can't identify with it.
I can't believe what I am hearing from you, TR. You sound like a get up and go, independent and bright guy, that is when you're not talking about politics.
Socialism is for victims.
Ok Ok, maybe you haven't challenged your preconceptions quite enough.
