Health Care woes
The problem with all health care (HC), is that the health care providers have been allowed to write their own contract for too long. We are into and era of 'early detection'. This is being touted as your only option, because otherwise you will die. We are being over-diagnosed and over-treated for conditions that probably don't require it. In other words, the HC pros have learned the fine art of fear mongering. Cut done on half (or more) of the tests, and you will cut about 2/3 of the cost. How do the other countries that have National Health care do it? The only allow certain, proven, tests. The Republicans are putting so much false information out there, that it is hard to get a proper look at it. You shouldn't be looking at how America should create a HC system, but any other country like Canada, Japan, China, France, Germany, England etc etc. They all have them, and they work well. Some are better than others. A good HC system is like a very successful American Corporation: Wal-Mart. The masses bring the cost down. Canada has approx 36 million people and a large, spread-out country. The USA has approx 360 million people and is smaller. Go figure who should have the advantage of the benefits of cost per person ratio. The answer should be obvious.
