Another example of a lame attempt to reach a middle ground on an issue that leaves no body satisfied. *sigh
I'm absolutely for socialized medicine. The best medical care I've ever received was when I was a dependent of my Enlisted (Air Force) parents, and getting some of the world's best socialized medicine.
It was incredible. I would get sick, and a short time later someone would actually try to fix me, because that was their one and only job to answer to (at which they succeeded 99.999999% of the time).
Now, with (and presently without) insurance, any regular, "civilian," hospital/doctor/practitioner throws me around, sapping every last penny they can either directly or indirectly (by booking multiple consultations so everyone gets their dues from insurance, yadda ya...). I shouldn't have to go to the dentist 8 times for 4 cavities! The dentist should be paid fairly for his work, regardless.
