re: #520 researchok

That I agree with 100%. My point is to make an effort to remove dead weight, waste and redundancy.

The status quo is unacceptable, especially in a down economy, new government programs on the way, etc (FYI, my own issue with health care is about the cost/delivery vehicle. not the idea. HC will work if government can deliver that HC efficiently).

But you have to look at the over all numbers… even if the government doesn’t handle health care efficiently, there will at least be the chance that a few less people would die then if they couldn’t get any kind of health care. That’s certainly worth the effort in my book.
