Tim, We're in danger of polluting Dale's thread with too many back and forths. Let me suggest two paths. Plan A. Which I prefer. We simply acknowledge we've had our say with one another on this issue and stop posting on it. At least to each other. I see you have some posts further down the stream. I'll take a look at them. But if they are like this one, I don't see any point in keeping the conversation going. We're just stating assumptions from fairly different political universes. Plan B. If you are eager to keep this going, then let me suggest we don't have multiple response/replies going. Let's just keep it to one post at a time. There are several dangers with our present posting routines. The first I've mentioned above, which is we almost become the thread. The second is that I don't really have the time to do much in the way of serious research on this topic. I'll just throw back statements or do as you have done and find a bit of info on the internet which supports my position. And I'm not interested in that. I assume you are not as well. What actually interests me are some serious, responsible books on the health care systems of these countries. Not books with an ideological axe to grind but ones that start with the concern to provide as good a quality of health care as possible to as many citizens as possible. I plan to do some library research on this later in the summer.
