Ah, I see that our nameless guest has revealed him/herself as our token distributor of Right Wing cliche. That's OK, we needed some balance for our usual one sided diatribes if, only, to get some perspective. Perhaps, now, we can drop this silly name calling and have a real discussion of the issues. Real decisions are made by reasonable people, not by the fringe players. Compromise is not capitulation and, as it has been said, the middle of the road is the super highway of politics. Name calling may be good for the soul but it is not a path to wisdom or accomplishment.
National Health is not a left/right issue. No society can afford to have a sizable number of its citizens unprotected by medical care. It poses a threat to the whole group. The level of care does not have to be inferior. Israel, with two national health plans, has the highest doctor/patient ratio in the world.
