a single person is meaningless. Because of the variation between persons a single person's response is meaningless. Unless you're doing a lot of measurements over time its worse than useless. > > Do you even realize that Judah's point is that all doctors are > benevolent do-gooders willing to work for a smile and a hug?

Have I ever said that about healthcare yet. I've made comparisons between health care systems. Besides when I say faith based you seem to miss an important point. When someone bases their opinion on hearsay or anectdotes without any empirical evidence then that is faith based. When it is based on hard data then that is something else entirely, and deserves careful and detailed consideration. When its something "I heard" or "Everyone knows" or "They say" or "X happened to the best friend of my brother in-law's second cousin twice removed" then it is not worth the paper such hear say is written on. > > You might want to consider your own misplaced faith in government > which, by the way, happens to be made up of human beings. In terms of health care, I think the government has had a better record than the private industry. Cut the idiotological pardon ideological crap and look at things without the blinders, which system covers more people? Which system covers the person who is working a minimum wage job, or the student putting themselves through college by working at the same time.> > > What are you going to say next?

That is simply bullshit try some real arguments based on facts instead of the bullshit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:296680 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
