Keith,
snip, snip..
The idea of a public health service is still so sacrosanct that one has to
be very careful of what one says about it in England. In the
highly-intelligent, highly-liberal social world in which I move (choirs and
choral singers mainly) I have to keep my mouth shut most of the time when
health matters are discussed. I have to choose my interlocutors very
carefully before I can freely express myself. Otherwise I am likely to be
savagely attacked (as I have been) even by friends I have known for years
-- far worse, I might add, than the occasional "balderdash" that is
occasionally hurled at me in this mailing list.
Cordell,
Same applies here in Canada. We seem to think that Medicare is central to
being Canadian. I am for universal health care, but am also open to seeing
it in a different way and also willing to consider that maybe universal is
sometimes *too universal*.
