KL, We are paying almost double what other developed countries are paying for health care and have nothing to show for it My wife is alive today in the US system. She would be dead back home in Canada (where she was sent home untreated). Her meds were developed in the UK, but were not covered by either the UK or Canadian systems. At Duke University Medical Center I meet many Brits and Canadians coming to the US for treatment. There are many things wrong with the inequality of care in America, but I would be very careful about such broad statements about having nothing to show for it. If we were being cost-effective, we would let a lot of people die - an unfortunate and little discussed side effect of socialized medicine. Many liberal thinkers on this issue laud foreign systems and decry HMO's. But at its heart - Government Healthcare is simply a really big Government run HMO, but with no right to appeal or sue. John
