Gill will do very well.<br><br>The tea party will oppose single payer and obamacare because it is coercive not because it is beneficent.<br>I think they are correct that coercive medical programs are unconstitutional. The socalled left will support<br>coercive medicine because they believe in the beneficence of the nanny state. The socalled right will oppose it<br>but will in fact support coercive medicine because it brings money to their poor wealthy friends and<br>because it maintains the American Standard of Medical Care. Sir, yes, sir.<br><br>It is difficult for me to imagine that the creation of a government bureaucracy to administer health care will<br>solve the problem. It will create jobs.<br><br>My view is that the problem is systemic, not a matter of who pays after the system has processed you.<br><br>In many countries other than the USA one can buy medicines over-the-counter that are either completely unavailable<br>and
forbidden in the United States or are on a prescription-only basis, for a small fraction of what those same medicines<br>cost in the US. This is the result of "crony capitalism" in the USA system.<br><br>In many countries other than the USA when you go to the hospital, they give you your medical records<br>and your x-rays and you can take them home and study them yourself. In the USA you are not smart<br>enough to even peer at them, even if you spent the night at a Holiday Inn Express.<br><br>In many countries other than the USA if you are sick or injured or have some problem with your body it<br>is easy enough to find a doctor, even one who will come to your home and see about you. In countries other than<br>the USA they know that most medical procedures are so simple even a Caveman could be trained to do<br>them in about 15 minutes, so intravenous sets and saline bottles are readily available over the counter<br>so you can go home
and give yourself an IV in the privacy of your own living room or the toilet of your choice.<br>In the USA the people are not smart enough to do this for themselves, they need a health care professional,<br>a member of the guild, to do this for them.<br><br>In the USA the number of health care professionals is strictly limited so that there is always an undersupply of<br>available care for you, the little guy. The Galatians are being milked and bilked. Minor surgery<br>is when they cut on someone else<br><br>It's unfortunate that movements with great promise are turned aside by a little bit of pepper spray.<br>The medical lobby is powerful and holy and believes in blood donation as good leeches should.<br><br>As Fred Natural observed, Americans are soft.<br><br><br>On 6/21/2012 9:01 AM, C.
