>but I will never understand other liberals who fool themselves into thinking that universal health care is the "cheaper" solution. Except for the fact that it's true. Even if you subtract from the overall US health care expenditures the amount of money towards health care that comes from individuals and businesses, the government's share of health care in the U.S. is higher per capita than that of any other country, which all have no money put in by individuals and businesses. -Z

What I do know, however, is that if you want to pursue socialistic programs, your goal ought to be humanitarian over brute efficiency. In that sense, I understand Z's perspective, but I will never understand other liberals who fool themselves into thinking that universal health care is the "cheaper" solution. The truth is we don't know which is the cheaper system. Right now, I can tell you that health care is costing this country and its citizens a bundle. MMoore claims places like France do it cheaper. I would like to see the American gov't do an honest appraisal.

On the other hand, I too have difficulty reconciling the heartlessness of free-market economics with the human need for regular health care. Bingo...unless you have some revelation for us of a magical (or mystical) alternative solution, the overriding concern should be for those who have no health care, even if it comes at the expense of poorer quality or higher cost...I don't subscribe to this notion by the way. So quit the "socialistic" ever so shocking references, and come up with some ideas. Al
