...because we can do better.


The guy paid into the system for years...then falls on hard times and it's out the door with him?

Sorry, I think we can do better.

And to me that should be the decision of his family/friends and community.. NOT fobed on by govt.

Not sure what you are getting at here...public schools should be dumbed down to below the private schools? Huh?

Or private schools should have to meet higher standards? What?

A mix of both. Kind of like you have certain unis who's standards are higher than the others.

Can you name a country where working people eat well and the unemployed were left to starve?

I'm not talking about famine countries or anything...I mean countries with a vibrant economy that let their unemployed starve. If it is "every country in history", this should be easy.

I know england, france and many in europe did in the old days..

So, you think doctors should work for less than what the market will pay, out of sense of service to the greater good of the community?

Liberal!! Socialist!!

I think their fees should be lower, so more can afford them.

If cost of routine healthcare would become more managable by average Joe, all insurance would be needed for is major procedures such as implants and prosthetics, etc. Which are far less of an insurance expendature than er visits, tests, routine check ups, follow ups and prescriptions combined on an annual basis.

Which is what i am getting at..

Death is not certain. There are billions of people who've never died.

How you figure? Everyone dies.. No one is immortal.
