Picture health care being ran like the DMV or FEMA.
Our government screws up everything they have their hands in now. The last thing I want them doing is making my health care descisions.
I can see it now, sorry sir you cannot have your much needed surgery. Congress has cut back those kinds of surgeries until the next Fiscal Year.
However, here is a nice pamplet read.
Oh and BTW if you want to see National Healhcare in action just stop by any VA hospital. The VA runs the worst medical system in the world. I would rather be seen by drunk Veternarian then a sober VA Doctor.

The government should be involved in the FINANCING of health care - but not providing it. So, the VA is a bad example. A more fitting example for government-financed healthcare would be Medicare. How many people are willing to go on record as opposing Medicare? Do you have a mother, father, grandparents that you propose leaving on their own for their healthcare?
Do you propose simply leaving our inhumane system it as it is? Insurance companies making decisions on your care based on profit? Millions without insurance to face huge deposits for needed cancer treatments? What's your plan?
I agree with Metro - this should be moved from OKC Metro Talk.
