McGrath: The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: "Treat": To give medical aid to.
For another interesting "take" on health care provided in Tennessee: Google today's edition of The Wall Street Journal, page 2, "Tennessee Experiment's High Cost Fuels Health-Care Debate." (I assume if Amos providing Paul Krugman, columnist, at the New York Times is acceptable as a resource, the Wall Street Journal will be acceptable too).
It seems to me this discussion (argument)is moving away from whether nationalized Health Care is good or bad, to "Is Medical Care a 'Right' or a 'privilege'. As far as I know, only citizens in the United States who have reached the age of 65, and have contributed to the Federal Social Security Program during their working years have a guaranteed "Right" to some form of health care.
If the Democrats in Congress are successful in adopting Obama's plans for "fixing" our health care program, the one I have now will be abolished. I have already said in previous posts that I am perfectly satisfied with the one I have. I assume many here on the Mudcat are of the opinion that my concerns are not legitimate. Is correct?
