The key to efficiently administered health care is prevention, not treatment.
Once someone gets diabetes or heart disease, the cost of treating that for the duration of their life is 1,000 x what preventing it through diet and exercise would have been.
Sadly, America hasn't realized or incorporated this basic, money saving concept into its public policy.
And I'm sure that suits cardiovascular surgeons and big pharma just fine.

It's a toss up. Do you want the best goverment services like the nordic countries such as Sweden and pay 60%+ taxes or make everything private, place controls on pricing, and let us pick and choose what we want and need.

Since when did health coverage become part of the Bill of rights?
just thinking out loud here, but why is it:
*People (and politicians) think its perfectly normal to ask that employers or the tax payers pay for health insurance? should they also pay their car,life and home owners as well???
* why is it we have so much emphasis on INSURANCE for health?? why not just have a stock pile of cash to pay for it like you do when you want to buy a home?
*why is it that hospitals can charge $60.00 per TYLENOL tablet to my insurance due to my wife giving birth...yet in the brokerage industry there is a 5% commission cap????
*why is it people will easily pay 750.00 per month for two leased cars, yet bitch and moan that they have to pay for health coverage?
