Ahhh, very socialistic.
We need to be either be a capitalistic society, or a socialist one.
Right now, the facist economic model we are using it getting
rediculous. Much of it has been implemented by Democrats to force
the populous to demand socialized services.
Example case: HMOs. HMOs were introduced by Ted Kennedy and have
effectively turned the medical industry from a somewhat "facist"
economic model to a completely "facist" one. This was purposely
done to get people to demand socialized health care. Kennedy got us
good on that one.
Until Americans don't have to get health care from their employer
and can get their premiums tax-free, you won't have privatized
health-care. The only way to do so right now is to be
self-employed. You cannot have privatized health care with all the
over-regulation and limitations we have now.
In the Patient Bill of Rights, the Republicans tried to get that
article included. They really wanted to overhaul the industry and
finally let privatization work. Unfortunately, it was one of the
first things that went in negotiations. After further stands offs,
it was obvious it was becoming a special interest,
anti-privatization bill (let alone didn't have _anything_ to do with
rights) so the Republicans overloaded it with crap on purpose.
So it was effectively killed.
