I wish it was Europe! Did you know that at the end of each year their doctors get raises and bonuses based on how well their patients' health improved? I don't believe that the doctor's in the US are as focused. We are treated as cattle...herded through the offices, given the "wait and see" diagnoses on many cases, and never given much thought unless a lawsuit is overhead.

If you insist on government management of the health care system, do not expect freedom from waste, inefficiency, or inequity in the delivery of care (look at France).

If you want to promise citizens a national or state program of universal insurance coverage, don't expect that you will be able to deliver universal access to high-quality health care. You won't and you can't (look at Britain).

If you want to fix prices for medical services, prescription drugs, or other medical devices, don't expect demand for these goods and services to be met or investment in research and development to continue apace. It won't (look anywhere).

If you insist, with a straight face, that in a government-run health care system, all of your fellow citizens will be treated equally--regardless of their class, station in life, or disease condition--you are not merely enthusiastic or well intentioned. You are lying

Healthcare in England is FREE, but it SUCKS.

When you call the doctor's office for an appointment the best they can usually give you is in about 5 days time - tell that to your killer flu.

It's so bad over there, that the waiting list for an abortion is 10 months.

Oh and I don't agree with those choices as answers to the poll. I like the whole paying the employer for benefits situation.

It's a slanted poll so I voted for the one that would piss you off the most.

I had my first at SWMC in Liberal! I LOVED it there. Unfortunately, I have no choice with this one. I will be having the baby at The Women's Center. I'm so nervous. It should get better though after I do a tour or something. It just scares me that it's not in the hospital.
