I notice the right wing talk radio wackos like to compare a proposed national health service to the DMV! Well if you want to pay another couple hundred dollars for your car licence you could have a highly efficient DMV staffed by helpful, well paid people! But we prefer to pay less and get lousy service.
Why don't the anti health service lobby ever criticise the US military?? After all it's a govt run organisation - and one of the largest and most efficient enterprises on the planet.
Because it is adequately funded and well run by dedicated, motivated professionals.
I'm a diehard capitalist and run my own business but I think it's just wrong to let health care be subject to the profit motive. | Then by definition you are not quite such a die hard capitalist. As the song says, it was a love T.K.O. |
