Sicko': Heavily Doctored
Is Michael Moore's prescription worse than the disease?

Except of the above.



We're the only "modern" country that doesn't have universal health care.
They all must be wrong.


Erroneous thinking...a preponderance of the world is Asian....we must
change our genetics...a preponderance of the world is Muslim...we must all
become Muslims...



So, I guess it's ok with you if 12 million American children don't have
health care. Got it!


It's 8.9m and a goodly number of them ARE eligible for Medicaid or other
programs but aren't enrolled...thus making it an education problem, not
a healthcare problem...

To ameliorate the problem of those that don't qualify, legislation
should be passed that finds a way to take care of them...I've had
personal experience, on several levels, with Canada's national
healthcare system...it is not something I would want for myself or any
of mine (which is a joke because half my mother's side of the family is
in Canada...they can tell you some real horror stories about national
health care..) And why would you think our overburdened, bureaucratic
governemnt could hgandle anything like national health care? Expand
Medicaid. Expand Medicare. Nationalize insurance companies or
drastically change the way insurance companies are allowed to exist.
Those things are feasible. National health care, in our system, would be
a sorry mess.
