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 Barnyard BOb -- Once a rabble rousing mal-content, always a rabble rousing mal-content huh Bob? Dick Steel ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi 'Big Dick'. Howz it hangin', buddy? You ain't gonna' believe it, but I wuz waxing melancholy about you just the other day. The left coast bike world of Hardly-Go-Davidsons must be treating you AOK from the tone of your crap. Glad to see you can still stir a bit of stink, too.

Dick Steel 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.

(M.A.S.H. Sidney Freedman) 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.

While if YOU were President, you'd have 100,000 troops wandering around in the wilderness in Pakistan/Afghanistan looking for one guy who may or may not be there - and you'd personally supervise the guarding of every single bunker in Iraq, right?

Dick 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. Charlie |
