I keep hearing all these damn adds about health care and it's just bugging the shit out of me as to why this is such a big fucking campaign issue. Now granted these are all dem ads aimed at GW. But regardless of that. Why should the government have to provide anything health care related help to anyone other than federal employees if they so chose to even give a health care program to their employees.

In a Capitalist society, it is not.

However, every Socialist government worth it's salt provides it's leeches with free health care. The really good ones provide a free college education too! Like in Cuba!

My girlfriend's father is a Neurologist and I have a lot of friends whose dads are doctors. Many of them seem to think that healthcare will be entirly socialized within the next 20 years and are strongly advising their children to look into other fields. The scope of a capitalistic society is to provide the individual the security with which to provide for themselves, not to provide everything for them.

Yep, LBJ. I just paid $100 at the Doc in the Box to get a shot for my allergies. I gladly parted with a c-note to get it, rather than wait a week to get in to see my regular doc (PPO insurance would have picked up some of that).

At the pace it is going I'd say 10 years, especially if the Demos get in control of things.

That will only 'help' while not many do it. As more do it, it will collapse.
