Perhaps you had trouble reading the sentences immediately in front of
what you wrote. Let me post them again:

#:[Health care] costs [other countries] less (as a percentage of gross national
#: product) and they're healthier. Leave the shoulds out; stick with what makes
#: actuarial and economic sense. The present system, by any objective measure,

The current system doesn't make good economic sense. Wake up.

PS -- If you're just going to add a three-line tag with generalized 
government-can't-do-anything rhetoric, is there some reason why you
have to quote fifty lines of previous back & forth? Wake up and save
some bandwidth.
