Ted, > The problems of King Drew have nothing to do with socialism. On the contrary, socialism creates conditions ideal for the survival of more King-Drews. Of course the problems are those of King-Drew and nothing else ... but how do you encourage the good and discourage the bad? I hate to bring up free market analogies when it comes to health care, but in the private sector, the bad businesses will lose profits and eventually close up shop. In the public sector, however, the bad institutions will get more money because politicians will decide those are the ones that need to be fixed first. The result, of course, is the totally backwards work culture within King-Drew. Everyone there, from the nurses to the doctors and yes, even the pharmacists, are simply in it for the pay. Those who can play the political games will survive, while those who care more about patients will get squashed. And you're telling me that a socialism is going to fix problems like that? Tenchusatsu
