i don't what you proved with those facts, if anything. if the current situation works so well for you, good. the problem is it sucks for anyone who doesnt have a health program. you are SOL if you are poor and need a surgery aren't you.[/color]
I don't know what planet you came from but here are a couple of facts. My SS checks arrive in my bank account on the 21st of the month, every month without fail. My VA medical is there and and waiting for me any time night or day. In emergencies, I go straight to the hospital and VA pays the bills, if I have a minor problem, I can go straight to a clinic and be seen the same day in about 15 minutes without an appt., try that with your medical plan. So to all you disbelievers, the government can work in some situations, the two I have mentioned work like clockwork. By taking the profit out of medical, the only ones that would really be hurt are the greedy enterpreneurs and HMOs and Insurance companies
i stepped on a nail, waited 4 hours in the waiting room, saw a nurse, not a doctor, was given 1 vicoden for pain and a tetinus shot. the hospital charged my insurance company $1,500 and me $125 out of pocket. that's not profit, that a racket. the current beaurocracy in the medical field is raping the insurance companies. so the cost for each of us monthly is getting out of control. and you think there's no problem that can't be fixed by handing over this multi-billion dollar industry to the government, right? because everyone in government is so honest and upright, i guess.
