I can't believe you really think any sort of
"national health care " could work. This is another goverment ploy to
get controll. In fact it is the ultimate one! Talk about creating
dependancy !! No one would dare take any stand untill they looked at how
there "Plan" was affected. More important , it simply can't work.
As you may know , my wife is a registered nurse and I have done some winter
work in a health care facility. No matter how much money ( there would
be less if any of the suggested forms of national helth care were in effect)
is avaliable, there are simply not enough helth care people to go
around. Most , when picturing the industry, picture a neat hospital,
where all is clean and orderly. TV never shows, the people ,who
doctors can't to get to in a timly manner. They don't show old and
ailing people laying in their own filth, because there are simply not enough
people ( at any price) who are willing to clean them up promptly. You
are never told about nursers and doctors that work 24 hours straight ,
often several days a week. They don't talk about the waiting and
emergancy rooms, already overwhelmed or about the inability of even the
present system to get payments to the providers. ( can you imagine the
federal goverment taking over that !) You don't hear about the hundreds
of hours a year many in the industry have to spend filling out paper work,
much of it to protect themselves from law suits, or for that matter , the very
expensive insurance that most helth care workers must carry ( usually out of
their own pay) You never hear about how all this effects the workers
themselves. Many don't last more than a few years, because the stress is
simply more than most people can take. Then there is the example we see
in Canada! Now Andrew, I ask you how do you think nationalizing
medicine is going to overcome all this and the obvious increase in people who
would believe that helth care was "THEIR RIGHT" Can't work!! Won't
work Only a rabid socialist like Hillary ( the controll freek)
would propose such a scheme.
Respectfully
Ran
And, maybe with Hillary as President
we'd finally get that national health care plan to
fly...
