There has been a couple of references to our current system of insurance and medicare/medicaid, and how costs are out of control.
I think those problems are consistent with my original concerns. Whenever you have a third party paying the bill, people don't care about controlling costs. Whether the third party is big government, or big insuance it seems people won't care about anything other than their immediate needs no matter what the cost. That will lead to either more and more restrictions or the bankruptcy of the system.
In Canada, there are long waiting lists for care. And you have people (those with money) coming here for care. Is that system going to stand the test of time? I don't think it will.
