It may have been noted here already, but I'm too lazy to go back and look: We already subsidize health care. Indigent people who receive care at ER's, people who skip out or file bankruptcy on their bills....basically, all those who are unfortunate enough to not have health care or have sub-standard health care are subsidized by everyone else. We are overcharged by our providers and the hospitals because of their losses elsewhere. Our premiums are skyrocketing because of these reasons. One thing I find interesting is that the majority of my clients who bitch about national health care are on Medicare. What the hell do they think that is?
A recent letter to our newspaper caught my eye- the writer asked when was the last time you saw riots or protests in Canada or Sweden or England that were
against national health care?
