Phil Hughes writes: > in Canada (unlike HMOs here) you have a choice of what doctor you go to. HUH??? I've always had a choice of what doctor I go to, and I've used HMO's for years. If I didn't like my HMO, I could fire it and pick another. With the Socialistic health care system advocated by Hughes et al, I won't have that choice. I'll be stuck with the Official US Government Approved insurance system and if I don't like it my only choice will be to move to another country. What it really is is that Hughes et al are distressed by the fact that people who are working productively for a living aren't being forced to pay for health care for homeless drug addicts with AIDS. Socialism has no hope in catching on until the people who do the real work in the country are dragged out of the comfortable middle class and are made to feel utterly wretched and miserable.
