Where do you get these fantasies? *Rush?

Sorry, I didn't realize you were in the UK. *Press on.

I'm not. Something like the UK or Canadian system is what "they" want.

I don't think they want quite that good a system. For example, I believe
one can still pick his own doctor in UK; Hillarycare had a $10,000 fine
for trying to go to a doctor other than the one you were assigned.

Two types of people don't need insurance. Those that have lots of
money and those that don't have any.

I don't want one that pays for everything. Compare it to buying
automobile insurance that would replace your seats if you spilled
coffee on them. That is what the politicians seem to be promising in
the way of medical care. And of course it would not be workable.

If a system is implimented I would prefer one that covers catastrophic
care but not routine doctor visits. In those countries where
everything is covered, everyone waits. And the level of care
suffers. Patients do not get the latest (and more expensive)
treatments. The public gets the "good enough" treatment. Those that
have the finances go outside the country for better care. I expect in
the US congress (and retired politicans) would continue to be treated
by the goverment supplied medical care they now receive - Nothing but
the best for them. They voted themselves out of Social Security and
implimented their own private (outrageous cost to the public)
retirement plan.
