So the 80s mantra was how much government suck and how great private business is. Of course now we all know that's not empirically true.
That doesn't mean government is great, but it means private industry sucks just as much. Thus the truth is in the middle. So, anyway, an interesting framing of the issue is in outcomes when the worst happens. This guy from a blog makes a great point: ----------- I'm one of the 40+ million Americas that the market has efficiently removed from health care rolls. I was laid off from a corporate job and make ends meet with freelance work while I job hunt in this rather difficult job market. I bought a private policy -- because COBRA was twice as expensive -- a year or so ago from the company that held my employer-sponsored plan (rhymes with Clue Loss / Rue Field). I figured this would make continuity of prescriptions and care pretty straightforward, and instead found, when I went to the pharmacy, that those carry-over prescriptions were no longer covered, because my seasonal allergies were now a pre-existing condition. Yes, it's true that leaving health care in private hands reduces political corruption, but there's one thing that I've seen happen with long term political corruption: indictments. You don't see that too much with corporate corruption, do you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293817 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
