As usual your point has nothing to do with my response to soxfan's post
We know you believe in socialism in general, so it's no surprise that you just extend that to health care.
Look at how Romney's mandated health care is working in Ma. The cost of insurance there is skyrocketing- up 10% last year.
The medical system does need to be reworked, but govt control is part of the cause, not generally the solution. Medicare is skyrocketing because of hospitals gaming the system.
The problem is that no one is actually paying for care. IF there were no insurance and health care costs weren't subsidized, do you think the cost would be what it is today?
Medical savings accounts, cheaper clinics in retail stores like Walmart and CVS, and importantly people paying attention to prevention will all help much more than having the government take over.
The number of patients who forsake care in socialized countries to come to be treated here points out the efficiency of those systems
