Whats the down side?

It ain't the Dems that are paying for it, all of us are paying for it.
The system is screwed up as a result of well intentioned meddling by
Congresscritters from both parties that began with wage and price
controls in the WW II era.

It's hard to know if we'll see socialized medicine this time around,
but it hasn't been enacted yet.

The Demos are in charge, and have been for at least 2 yrs. So it would
appear that they are responsible for the current Recession..and my
medical payments.

Works for me.

they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual

For socialized medicine to work in this country, the gov't will have
to start another system from scratch, with doctors and clinics who
can't be sued and who will limit their profits. Yada yada yada.

A few thousand walk-in free clinics (like we used to have) would put a
real scary dent in the profits of clip-joint hospitals and doctors'
offices.
