Default OT Michael Moore proves he is the sicko

What's the problem with government health systems?
Moore's movie doesn't ask that question, although it
does unintentionally provide an answer. When
governments attempt to regulate the balance between
a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand
for it they're inevitably forced to ration treatment.




So...we shouldn't have health care for everyone like in other
countries because it has flaws? Because we can't do it even better
than they can? I have quite a few European friends and all prefer the
health care "over there" to here. In fact, with several having free
care here and overseas, they often opt to fly over for better
treatment. This is not the case for all procedures of course and you
can come up with a zillion horror stories.
I have about the best medical plan and care available since 4 of my
closest family members are doctors/nurses and my wife is a nurse. I
also have access to money that most people don't. And yet I still know
that our medical system is a joke compared to overseas, as do many of
the nurses we know who's come to the USA in recent years.
No WMDs.
