Guy44- Good lord, that's a lot of stuff....but it works off an assmption that I'm not sure I can accept: The private medical providers have fumbled tthe ball in a huge way, so the government can be trusted to set up a decent healthcare system. As for right now, there is some money in the VA "buisness", but if the market were to shift suddenly to covering hundreds of millions of Americans, outside interest from investors would begin to put pressure on people for privatization. Just like S.S., some pussy-ass politicians will see an opportunity to make a buck, and just sell it right back, despite the fact that the government stands to actually make money off universal healthcare. Am I just being paranoid? Is there some way to make a law that prevents foul play?
