Jack Lovell – I work with physicans from all over the world every day in my job.
Working the concession truck in the hospital parking lot hardly qualifies you to judge what kind of healthcare system should be put in place to replace the current one.

Great article! Thank you for the focus on fundamentals and the recognition of the painful facts resulting from ignoring those fundamentals.
The trouble with our current culture is that most people now has no clue what rights are and why recognizing them is a requirement for our living together. The above “commited Christian” who so disagrees with the article is a great example: “If someone is poor and needs healtcare and it is not a right, then they can just eat cake. I think that thinking went out with Louis XIV.”
But if someone is poor and needs healthcare and it IS a right, then they can just enslave their neighbor to pay for it or their doctor to provide it. I think THAT thinking went out with the American Revolution.
I hear you, but the morons who can’t think beyond the words “uninsured!!!!!” and “emergency room!!!!!!” haven’t the slightest clue of how to think in abstractions. It’s like an entire segment of the Western world has performed a frontal lobotomy on itself.
