>Free national health care is a disaster in Canada and England, as well it would be here.

The Canadians and English would disagree. Besides, our current system is a disaster.

>I'll propose this: how about a govt mandated "catastrophic" medical insurance?

An ounce of prevention...

>You start giving away health care, you'll have every parent running to the doctor every time their child sneezes. It's already happening under current corporate insurance plans.

Not really. We're the only country in the industrialized world where people visit the doctor on average less than once a year, and because of that, we don't nip diseases in the bud.

You guys act like people enjoy going to the doctor. If people go more, it's because they should, not because they want to.
