the right bitches about 'socialized' medicine

what we have right now is medical care run by bear, stearns; goldman
sachs, bank of america and all the other institutions that have shown
how much they value the american consumer by laying off so many of us.

yes, i want socialized medicine. because private enterprise DOES NOT
WORK in medical care.

Right now, for most Americans, health insurance and your health care is
determined solely by corporations who decide who to cover, who to not
cover, who to drop from coverage, what to cover, and what to charge for
that coverage. In many cases, those decisions are arbitrary and capricious.

yeah i always laugh when people say they want to 'choose their own
doctors'. the health insurance company that the company i work for
chose has quite a selection of doctors...with degrees from the st.
george's school of medicine in the grenadines, or the magsaysay school
of medicine in the philippines...quality health care because, i'm
sure, the insurance companies are ONLY concerned about my health.



What we have now is health insurance via corporatism. I wouldn't mind
seeing the federal government getting involved in a direct fashion and
closely regulating the health insurance industry, and also offering
directly to Americans health insurance and ways to pay for it, be those
individual or collective (taxation) methods.

yep. if you thought what bear stearns did for the economy last year
was good, you LOVE 'free market' medicine. people seem to have
already forgotten it was the unregulated market of the right wing that
GOT US into this position.
