We have the best healthcare in the world and now Obama wants us to be a socialistic nation. This guy is no good, he is stupid and in over his head, he wants to hurry and rush expensive programs through, increase our debt and leave us a poor nation. I hate it and I want the healthcare we already have. I agree with you. We have the best healthcare in the world and now Obama wants us to be a socialistic nation.

Singer's concept of "rationing" would rob the concept of all meaning, and disparage resources because they are _finite_. I enjoyed this, Don.

He should not kid himself - more government control will mean rationing and a destruction of supply. In Canada, if we require an MRI for example, there is an extensive waiting list with the more critical patients getting priority, an example of the rationing that exists because of our socialized system. Canadians cross the border where the resource is plenty because it is not socialized. Not only do we pay excessive taxes to fund a health program that is poorly managed and insufficient to meet demand, we then pay more costs out of pocket to get the services we should have been getting all along. I hate to think of where we Canadians will go for quality health care once the U.S. socializes itself. There will simply be no place to go. And how can Singer think that healthcare is already rationed when there is enough to supply services to non-U.S. citizens? His commment, by the way, sounds frighteningly like a quote from the character Wesley Mouch in Atlas Shrugged.

Really swell examples of federal success at managing enterprises, are the Postal Serice, Amtrack,and Medi-care. Beaurcrats are the best example of how not to manage anything.
