All I was saying is, that I have had both in my life, and 'Medi-care' was vastly inferior.....perhaps it was the best you've had...and you don't think it could be better.....even if the bill for implementing such a program would cause us(the public to be extremely over taxed, broke, and die or get sick trying to make ends meet...no matter how long and hard we worked!..Being as the government is so corrupt anyway, I don't think any 'efficiency' is going to be wasted on us!! As I pointed out, to clean up the medical PROFESSION' and the link to the Insurance INDUSTRY, would very adequately provide better health care for affordable prices. For instance, if you went to a private medical provider, and before your visit, tell them you are going to pay cash, and want to get a break, for it, you will find they usually knock off about 1/3 price off...did you know that??   Try it. Also the insurance INDUSTRY has a pricing schedule for certain services, ..way higher than really necessary( this is done to compete, with what medical firm accepts who's insurance program......thanks for you kind consideration..
