Help - I am trying to get my arms or whatever around this health care issue. I am what you might call neutral - somewhere between mid-sixties and death.
So, what is all the fuss about? Sounded like the Hatfields and McCoys going at it on a news bite on public radio this past Friday?
Todays Wall Street Journal featured an article about healthcare in England and saying animals get better care than humans. My guess it is because they don't smoke, drink or do drugs and the unfit ones are put to sleep.
Some say we can't afford healthcare?
(But we seem to able to bail out the banks / insurers / autos - that may not be a valid point - maybe they will give us the money back?)
Others say we will force healthcare providers to perform abortions?
Will I have to travel to Cuba for new hip?
Canada is worst place for healthcare or was it Germay?
If I am young and have a family and my employer doesn't provide healthcare I can always count on what?
Or laid off and can't afford my cobra my family and will be able to do what?
How are you coping healthcarewise?
What would you be telling congress?

private administration is demonstrably more costly and less fair.
'socialized' medicine is better.
controlled insurance is better.
mixed is better.
just break the stranglehold of insurance and private hospitals, and things will get better.
but which particular system? all have good and bad points, i think socialized medicine is the way to go, with an opt-out for the rich. let them support the poor with taxes, and go to different doctors.
