Whatz gnu?
The HMO's are in effect setting salaries now...
and the effects are observable as we speak.

If govt takes over, I'd guess salaries and costs
would rise while quality of care heads south.

Where do I get such an opinion?
If the govt were in the beer brewing business...
a six pack would cost $25 and Uncle Sam would still be losing
money. g

No Dick, he just has a brain that is working quite well. Name one,
just one
thing that the government controls that is not totally ****ed up and
cost 10
times what it should. Anyone who thinks that the government could run
the
healthcare industry better or cheaper than the current private system
doesn't
have a clue. Most of our current run-up in healthcare costs can be
directly
traced to and attributed to the government and the stupidity of the
medicare
system.

Well Mr. reed I'm afraid I have to agree wqith you. If they can't keep
track of 8 million pounds of explosives that are stored in sealed
bunkers or find a seven foot tall raghead in the desert I'm pretty sure
they would screw up just about anything they touch.

Yee Haa!

Ya know Bob, in most cases I'd agree with you, but you asked for one
example of government control bettering the free market; here's one:

Google 'Montana Power' or ask anyone who buys power in Montana what they
think.

Here's some food for thought: if it isn't a free market, there isn't a
free market.
