CRB.I was raised in the military (users of a similar system), and I went
   .to Navy/Air Force hospitals until I was 18.  I never remember being seen
   .in any less than 4 hours, and can recall several situations (non-emergency,
   .they say) that I waited from 8am until 5pm in a lobby (once with a bucket..)
   .only to be told that I wasn't going to be seen, but to come back tommorrow.
   .I don't want this kind of health care system.

CRB.One might argue that those are Military doctors, and that with private
   .doctors you'll get better care....maybe.  I say your right for a year
   .at best (until the good doctors move overseas, and through attrition
   .retire out of the force).  I say that unless a doctor keeps the option
   .of a $400k salary, that you will NOT have the brightest students fighting
   .for a spot in a class that leads to 7 or eight more years of education
   .and a job that has 70-80 hr work weeks, and a history of being the
   .number one career on the lists on most alchoholics, suicides, stress....
   .you get the picture.

CRB.I could like for the advocates of government (national) health care to
   .run down to the nearest governement run agency and ask for some
   .help....try the Department of Motor Vehicles, perhaps.

Yes, I have to agree with you, Chad.  You know, it is really frustrating
having these conversations, sometimes.  While I would not wish that
anyone would be stuck in the position of needing health care, and not
being able to get it, I have to say that living in the US does not, should
not, guarantee us good health.  Why is that such a difficult thing to
grasp?  If we would put our money into the economy instead of the govt,
we ALL are much more likely to prosper in health and standard of living.
Why is it a crime for the more wealthy amongst us to be able to afford
better health care?  or better cars?  or longer vacations?  or better
education for their children?  That sounds to me like capitalism at its
finest!  Why should I bust my tail to earn more money, if it is only
soaked up by a gov't hungry to provide all of my neighbors with
guarantees of good health?  Hell, I'll stop working and go on welfare!
That doesn't work, folks!!  But that's what the Dems would have you
believe.


Regards,
Todd
