AFAIK, the doctors that take medicare will also take insurance. What's the difference?

I'd rather pay for health insurace and have the world's best health care, than pay a high tax rate so I can have "free" health care on par with Canada or the UK.

Heck, even when I had no insurance, I recieved the world's best health care, and fast.

Nationalized health care is imo not too good for USA. First of all USA is a LARGE country with more than quarter billion people and its gonna be inneficient. Sure nationalized health care works at other countries whose population is equal to that of CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, TEXAS, or even NEVADA... but USA is BIG and there's no way to manage it in nationa level...

is this good solution?

* leave the *national health care* dillema to states.

or

* leave it to regional level...

OR

status quo... let the private companies run US healthcare.

as opposed to govt: "I Know you never get sick but if you do you'll recieve mediocre health care. In the meantime we will take 20% of your earnings to pay for everyone else. Oh and trust us, we know what we are doing"

What I erased from my post earlier was the lack of oversight in State run and Federal government financed facilities, it leads to poor quality of care, and a lack of reporting as they only have a single group to report to (the State) whereas a private facility has to report to their internal insurance company, the State (which almost always leads to a inspection), and often the patient's insurance company.

With our current situation, national health will end up neglecting alot of people... I've seen it, but unfortunately, I cannot post examples.

Del just because its Krugman doesnt meant that some of what is written here isnt factual.

Its a Krugman Editorial...

Like all things you must get over your fears and try to find the facts in any article. Even if its written by Hannity:)
