Why do you assume that nationalized health care would simply be analogous to "distribut[ing] the same code on all customers' machines"? It's an opportunity to fix what's broken, and to refuse to take it because of some misguided fear is just simply idiotic. Your lack of understanding of how things get done is sometimes staggering.

Becuase of the inefficient system we currently have. Why not replace it with something that is proven to be efficient. Your argument that we can't switch to a nationalized health care system because we have problems with the current system is exactly 180 degrees out of phase with reality. We need to switch to a nationalized health care system precisely becuase we have problems with the current system. Eric Lucas |
