"a real woman who escaped what socialism would have done to her." Is there any limit to your naivete??? I belong to a Medicare HMO and you should be aware that HMO's work for profit as do other medical individuals or groups.... There is no "rationing" of MRI or scans to anyone for reason's I cited earlier...my belief is that they are not required as often as they are prescribed. I have turned down scans because I thought they weren't required..... But it's almost a given that you will be scanned if you go to an orthopedist for anything.. I also think dentists use X-rays too casually (profit is there too). Have you ever taken your car in for a "free safety inspection"? Have you ever taken advantage of a "free virus scan of your computer". Those are just two examples of all the "free" things out there for you... The word socialism seems to come out of your mouth about every 10 words..it's your latest obsession. and btw, we do not have the best healthcare system in the world... If you allowed yourself to read more than RW material you would learn that...
