Ah, Massachusetts. The state that turned the 2.5 billion dollar Big Dig into a leaking 14 billion and counting swag rape of the public. Of course though they will be able to handle health care better than digging a hole and pouring concrete for ten miles. Yup. Nothing says love like the force of government. If you love public housing, sweetheart road contractors, and trust the Haliburton of the future, you’re going to love Massachusetts Bulger run, Ted Kennedy overseen hog fest that this is going to become. It will be cheaper and better. Honest. Trust them.
Roger:
The current state of health care has so many problems that the idea of a government controlled system seems comforting. After all, everyone will have access and the costs will be more evenly spread. Be careful what you ask for. I have been watching Prime Ministers question time on c-span for the last decade and they often show a bit of the Canadian version. And the one constant theme for both is health care. It never goes away. They both have governemnt conrrolled sysytems and yet the battle over it is never over and it is always a major issue during election battles. If it worked so well why is their always such political turmoil over the beloved plans? Because it is the perfect political hammer to throw at the party in power, left and right. “Mrs. Smith, a dying patient, had to wait 6 months for her operation. Waiting times have decreased 8 per cent over the last two years. we have increased funding 6 per cent. We will increase spending 10 per cent. It becomes the never ending primary political issue and trying to reform it becomes very similar to Social Security. Any attempt to make it more streamlined is portrayed as trying to make old people and babies die. It becomes the ultimate pander issue and it never goes away.
wrong thread, waking up before posting is always a good idea, sorry.
