Odd, how the government is basically dumping NASA saying private
industry
can do it better and cheaper. But government can do healthcare better
and
cheaper. Just seems odd.

we have free market healthcare NOW.

it doesn't work. how much evidence do you need? it's kind of like
asking 'who's buried in grant's tomb'?




We still do not have a free market healtcare. Have not had one as long as
I
am aware of healthcare. Has always been very highly government
controlled.
Free market, insurance companies could sell across state lines, etc.

yeah. and there's never been 'true communism'. and there's never been
'true christianity'

face it. the free market failed in healthcare. it's a failure. state
controlled healthcare provides better care at lower cost. if your way
worked, the US healthcare market would be the best in the world

it's not. it's a failure. the market has failed. that's what the data
and the evidence shows.

it's time to move on.



Basically state controlled health care. Via control of insurance companies
and where they can sell.
And you bring up Christianity. Bad place to bring it up. How about the
Catholic Church (there are others with hospitals also, very good hospitals)?

And part of a Sam Miller statement.

"Do you know - the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at
the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other
hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. The graduates go on to
graduate studies at the rate of 92%

The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an
enrollment of 700,000 students.

The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which
account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people - not just
Catholics - in the United States today

"

How many atheists have schools and hospitals? You do not have to be
Catholic to go to these schools and hospitals. When my father was near
death he was in a Seventh Day Adventist run hospital. He had Blue Cross as
part of his retirement from UC Berkeley. But the care was outstanding!
