This is not a new idea, just one I didn’t see being pushed until Obamas latest healthcare speech. Even than, he grazed the issue with a government run, “market place”. I thought it was a fantastic speech, and I’ll say it again, speech. The beef in the soup may have been a little more flavorful, but it’s still coming from madcow. <br /><br />We socialize healthcare, we will lose the proper care for our health. When all the graduated M.D's are done and retired and the new generation of physicians comes in, under a socialized insurance, the quality of care WILL be our biggest downfall (Not that the majority of caregivers are to brag about now in this country anyways). I mean, You tell me to go to school for eight years, do a three year or more residency, have a stressful work environment, and not have a fantastic life to go home to after my work is complete...and I’ll say I’ll just go to law school.Marcus561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596169951296516856.post-91445731741788152512009-09-10T05:51:20.369-04:002009-09-10T05:51:20.369-04:00Okay...so your idea sounds oddly capitalistic (i.e...Okay...so your idea sounds oddly capitalistic (i.e. "the market will determine the value of the service"). Just how do you think that's going to work? It's not as if capitalism made this country great. It's not as if the founding fathers balked at the idea of BIG government. Just who do you think you are? *grin* <br /><br />Sorry. Sometimes my sarcasm takes the wheel. I agree. There are some things that aren't great about our health care system, but socializing medicine is not the answer.<br /><br />It seems to me that our current administration actually believes that just because we are America that we can somehow make socialized medicine work when no one else can.<br /><br />Last time I checked, Japan had surpassed us in education standards, work ethic, and technology. But we must be smarter than Japan, right? We are America.<br /><br />Someone knock me off my soap box, please?
