Idyllic

Hi Baraka_Guru, no I'm not suggesting that, re: litigation, I wouldn't know. But as you said your health care system has been in place for a long time, long enough for people to stand up to your government and demand certain regulations. I am just afraid that it will take 100 years before this is all worked out and it is scary to think that in 20 to 25 years, I probably won't get that hip replacement.

I would like to see Americans a little less intimidated by this reform, before it is pushed through, that's really all, and considering all I have seen, and I'm talking about the venerable WRAMC, soon to be the WRNMC. It's really scary. Just the cafeteria is like a war zone of broken solders who are fighting so hard, and still seem to be just a number at the foot of their beds. I know the people who work at Walter Reed are trying, I've meet a lot of great people, but the system, it's scary, they are overworked, overwhelmed and under payed. If the government can't even handle these deserving people as well as they should be, what does that leave me to expect for the average Joe.

SecretMethod70, I would like to say we cost so much because we are just so damned good, but as posted before, nay. I don't know why we are so much more expensive, that doesn't change the matter of this Bill. I still think privatizing and competition are key to less expensive health care, the government can control those rotten pharmaceutical companies though, or else let Canada come in and help us out there.
