I thought it was it was humorous, Irish.

Seriously, though, there are a lot of worries that our health care system will suffer the same as in other countries where socialized medicine is in place. I share those worries. The small stuff gets seems to get good, prompt treatment at government (read your taxes) expense. The more costly surgeries and advanced treatments often happen too late or not at all. I hope that's not what our contry faces, but I fear that we might.

On the other hand, I see a lot of companies (in the US) dumping insurance programs because of costs leaving many without any coverage. I think a lot are basing in on the hopes the government will take over and they'll get out of the business. Too bad.
