it's obvious we have to agree to disagree Yeah, I got to "vent" a little, but it is better if we let it go, so this will be my last post on the subject. I will admit that you guys are winning. Some sort of "National Health" scheme is going to be "Salamied" in, slice by slice. I of course, am right in the middle of it. I have part A and B medicare, being 67. I looked things over and joined the Kaiser HMO this month. Kaiser just got caught paying "spiffs" to their phoners in exchange for not setting Doctors appointments on call ins, not referring call ins to Nurses, and hanging up on call ins. However, they are the "lesser of the available evils", as I see it. Before you start on the HMO's, remember, the worst of them are better than any "National Health Care" scheme in other countries. So, lets "agree to disagree."
