Michael Moore's "Sicko"

Just wondering where the ideas are, Scaeagles. Profit motive doesn't cut it. It was profit motive that cost my kid her hearing. Capitalism is not the answer to everything. (For the record, I don't necessarily believe socialism is either). Btw, it was my understanding that everyone in Canada actually pays for their healthcare- it's not free. I'm guessing the English pay through taxes as well. From what I understand, doctors are held in high regard in both countries and there are still plenty of people going into medicine. I'd rather be treated by someone who is in the field to help people rather than someone who is in it for profit.

Also, were you father-in-law living here in Spokane, he'd still have a long wait. We have a serious shortage of orthopedic surgeons- most people either suffer or travel to obtain surgical relief.
