NOT wrong, I wrote absolutely correctly, unless you believe there are no people agreeing. Be civil and take it back. Dan B

This sentence highlights a deep vacuum we have in American education today. res- What's the alternative? Empowering HMOs even more? Yeah, right. In other words, it has to be socialism. Our creativity to think of alternative answers aligned with free market principles is steadily eroding. How about medical 401K's as proposed by Dick Army and other conservatives? How about TORT reform which will greatly help lower the cost of medical insurance? How about we make schools suit free injury zones so kids can continue playing sports? We have the single best health care system in the world. The biggest problem is affordable insurance. The biggest reason is because of lawyers and government programs which have intervened in the free market. Now, the local doctor working out of his home is becoming a thing of the past, replaced by Doctors Clinics where protection from law-suits is the highest priority. Democrats in congress are in bed with trial lawyers. Until we pass Term limits that cozy relationship which causes decent health care to be out of reach of some Americans will continue. Medicare fraud has been going on for decades and has driven the cost of private medical insurance to the moon. The waste-fraud-and-abuse in the system makes Enron accounting gimmicks look like mom-and-pops local diner in comparison. The real scandals are not coming from corporate America, but from government bureaucrats wasting hundreds of billions of dollars of tax-payer money every year. Creating more socialism will only exacerbate the problem, not solve it. The market will punish Enron, Worldcom, Global Crossing and others. Who will punish the head of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Energy Department and others who've been scamming the American taxpayer for years?
