Re:"The mess called health care needs complete overhaul, but Washington (both sides Dems and Reps) are way behind on this issue," A surgeon and his patient, a 90-year-old rancher who's cut his hand working the cattle, were discussing Bush's ideas for health care reform. The oldster said,"Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle". Not having heard the term, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle" was. He answered, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle. You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor thing down.

Jozef said: The whole system needs to be liberated from the grip of the medical establishment and the drug companies Wow.. if I didnt know you any better .. I'd have thought you were a liberal or a socialist.. or a canadian <grin> On that statement I can agree with you. I presume however you dont support the concept of a national health care system as in Canada or Europe... so what do you propose for the US to fix its health care woes?
