Free market capitalism is one of the worst systems ever invented as it puts all the power in the hands of a tiny minority who answer to no one. The idea that "the market will fix it's own problems" is either willfull ignorance or blatant dishonesty.There is no reason that rational people can't come up with a system that is much more fair. In canada we have public health care. I was reading an old thread where Andy had to hope his hand healed on it's own because he could not afford a doctor. Here it would all have been covered and because he is self employed and not wealthy his medicine would only have cost 2 bux. The doctors screamed bloody murder when the medicare bill was passed and the AMA and drug companies still spends millions of dollars a year trying to screw up our system. If it works for health care there is no reason it would not work for something important like the Dogfather.
Whoa! Markets never fix themselves and I never said they had that capacity. As far as doctors go, here is my 2 cents worth: Medicare drug plan sucks unless the drug pricing can be negotiated. If Congress doesn't fix it, you know BIG money is involved. I think I will become a Congressman, give myself raises, and rip me off a big piece of the American Dream.
The US needs to fix the healthcare system in this country and make healthcare a non issue.
