It IS the lack of money. The crooks skim off lots of it before it gets to the public. Also by the time the lawyers take their cut through litigation which drives up insurance bills and the crooks pad their bills to the government there is not much left. I just saw a statistic this week that the four richest counties in the U.S. border Washington, D.C. These are where government bureaucrats live and commute to work. The fastest growing work force and the highest paid is in government.
When I was growing up government workers were ridiculed because of the low pay and useless activity. It has now changed to the highest paid (even though useless activity remains rampant) worker. I know nothing about the health care business in Australia except for what you say. I know anecdotally that health care in Canada and U.K. is very bad and bankrupt. Boston, Massachusetts has implemented a Canadian style health plan that takes on all comers much like you say for Australia. It is now bankrupt and still bleeding. Illegals alone account for $300M in arrears. How do you know how much U.S. cares about the health of our people? It is amazing to me that you can spout off about what we feel without actually living here and getting first hand knowledge. Maybe if the U.S. would stop sending so much money out to help poor countries we could do more here. Look up on the Internet about the amounts we send to Haiti, Indonesia and Africa. ----- Original Message ----- From: "geoff" <[email protected]> To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 12:15 AM Subject: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health Bill Thats the best you can do??? Ever heard of SCALING?? And if anything, the fact that we are a country physically the same size as USA with 1/15th the population density means that supplying infrastructure like health care will ALWAYS be more expensive that a densely populated country like yours. Yet we manage to not only supply health care at a fraction of the cost, we can supply it to everyone. It isn't a lack of money holding you back. It is a lack of will or even worse a lack of CARE.
