Assuming the doctors don't misdiagnose you or use antiquated medical techniques and technology, Europe is great. This is a good time to point out that Obama who supposedly fixed medicine in the USA hasn't fixed anything. Here's a thought, break up the pharmaceuticals so there is more competition and lower prices for medicine. Another thought, give the health care dollars to the states and make the states responsible for administering them. For one thing, many of us don't want: suicide, birth control, or abortion coverage. Yeah, suicide coverage is where national health care is heading. Never mind the morality of doctors killing their patients, suicide is cheaper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
