Oregon Governor screws Oregon

[gunnss]

I have ducked the social medicine issue for 3 years now, I was just too angry to contribute in a meaningful way.
About 3 years ago socialized medicine killed my son in law, a resident of country with compulsory socialized medicine, he went to his clinic with a head injury and was sent home with aspirin. Three days later he was dead from cerebral meningitis. Having served 14+ years in the Army I "Know" how a government medical program works.
Regardless of whether or not it is a good use of our money, the government is not the provider that can do the job.
The other provider, or the way we have it now leaves us with runaway costs and insurance providers that calculate acceptable death tolls in to there "Service".

I don't have the answer, but there is a problem.
Regards,
Kevin

All these libs crying for socialized medicine are the same ones holding malpractice suit reforms at bay. Do they not realize that when medicine is socialized you can't sue the government for malpractice? 20 years in the AF taught me that.
