re: That's the kind of mentality that will be fostered if universal health care is implemented on a national scale. And the problems that plague King-Drew will be replicated nationwide, because bureaucrats, politicians, and weasels will make out like bandits under such a system. When the working poor, without health insurance go to an emergency room, they get charged "retail". Which is usually ~5X what an insurance company pays. There is probably a solution somewhere, but it's not the status quo. John

Ted, How is the quality of King/Drew's clientle responsible for the poorer health care in this country? Actually, it isn't, but those who are receiving free health care from the public sure act like society owes them that and more. I see nothing wrong with people expecting free health care. It should be a given in a nation as rich as this one. The fact that it isn't costs this nation an undetermined amount of money. That's the kind of mentality that will be fostered if universal health care is implemented on a national scale. And the problems that plague King-Drew will be replicated nationwide, because bureaucrats, politicians, and weasels will make out like bandits under such a system. What are you afraid of? Jesus was nothing if not generous with whatever he had. You claim to live by his word.........why do you ignore that part of his teachings? ted
