i am 100% AGAINST socializing medicine, and it took me a LONG time getting here. i used to think it was a good idea. i see canadian leaders coming down to california to get procedures done (close personal friends of the clintons, actually. hehehe...that of "politics" is a funny world.) i see people pulling their own teeth in england for lack of quality care publicly avialable. (see that report last week?)
THEN, i wonder, "is this a false debate?" are we REALLY debating between private and public here, or are we simply really talking about a ratio here? ....and subsequently, how to adjust it to better serve the public. i think one of the most toxic things in american politics (and democratic politics in general) is the inability to get the real 'face' of the issue as a result of political maneuvering on both sides of it. (no, i'm NOT a socialist...i'm definitely a fan of democracy, but it's not without its problems)
i'd love any thoughts you have on this.
