Then started playing golf with a very, very smart doc on a regular basis and he convinced me otherwise. Then why can you not articulate any rationale for what you're promoting? The very problem that Obama and just about everyone has identified as the problem -- MEDICARE -- is an example of government run health care. Why would ANYONE who has seen it in action turn the rest of the health care system over to the government? If you want to argue about this fine. But make your case. All I've seen thus far is bluster about how single payer is a good thing. Based on the only information we have available -- results with Medicare and Medicaid, empirically, we can see that government does not do a good job at this. As I have pointed out numerous times, the only portion of Medicare that functions well at this time is Part D which has private insurers handling the money. You should listen to your dad.
