3. How about this instead?

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak." GWB, 3/31/05.

Let the rich bear the burden for the poor.

5. In defense of Bush, he said "strong" ,not rich. He said "weak" not poor.

4. Supply Side

Maybe if we spent more on prevention through diet and exercise, the "supply" of patients would dry up.

Have another twinkie America...it's on me.

6. here are some points that don't require social medicine

1. for profit HMO's and insurance companies have got to be re-regulated. Their "risk" analyses are adjusted for accruing cash reserves and meeting margin so stock price won't fall and passed directly on to the consumer, whether "risk" is involved or not. Small Groups are often grouped in such a way to justify high risk premiums when risk can be distributed more evenly over more diverse groups.

2. medical school expense needs to be cut to a fraction; either by inducement or subsidy or regulation.

3. we need many many more doctors in the system. Competing for patients leads to better service, and lower med school expense means they can have lower up front income AND still have a great standard of living. A glut of doctors is a good thing.

4. Absolutely must have needa gotta have price controls on pharmaceuticals, period. This is the single biggest drain in the healthcare system.

7. Or, to meet the doctor shortage, we can outsource that to India. As, I am

sure, many insurance companies are already thinking about. I understand, India's universities produce an abundance of doctors and work for $5 a day.
