Hello Energyplay. Living in Canada, where the hospital bills are paid by the government, is not so terrible. Most people don't feel "shafted". In fact the public health system is well liked. I remember a statistic. In the US 14% of the GNP is spent on health; in Canada the corresponding number is 12%. My wife has had three serious operations, all of them free to us. So how does Canada do it? Via the income tax. People who make lots of money can afford the income tax Seeker of Truth P.S. I think Obama is well meaning. I strongly disagree with his fiscal policies such as leaving the banks and stock market still connected. That's a terrible thing. Anyway he is a great improvement over Bush. And why is government medicine so bad?
