RE:"Jim,I don't pray to the Almighty Dollar.....not the reason I went to medical school." Steve, I know that. I'm I'm just trying to shake you up that health care is better left to Doctors than to the Government. I honestly think the biggest problem is that healthcare is difficult to operate in a competitive market landscape where competition keeps prices down. Say, someone has a great drug...no competition. Where are the forces to keep it's price in check? Say, you do heart surgery...how do you keep costs down? Deny those that can't pay? Just hard to have a free market when lives are on the line. HMOs, Insurance cos. try to keep costs down while the govermenment causes them to rise...but what do you do when the patient is in the middle? The doctor is in the middle? Socialistic medicine, the governemnt regulates it....but I'm not sure if that creates the best healthcare. Jim
