NATIONAL HEALTH CARE

The national health care as it sits in congress is not acceptable. As many AMA members state, we currently have the best health care system in the world and dispite what Obama says "It's a broken system." It's not broken, it's just cost to much for many individuals and ways can be found to make it affordable again. It does not require a government single payer plan that will cost the country way more than the trillion dallors that Obama says it will. Haven't we learned our lesson, any new government plan always comes with a cost esitimate that is extremely low. If we bite on a single payer plan, the cost will become so high in just a few years, the government will have no choice but start rationing health care, the same as they do in Canada and the UK. What we need is to look at alternatives to national health care to get the current costs down. We are spending money at a rate never before seen in our history and it's all borrowed money. What part of the US do we give China when they decide to call in our loans to them? I hope it's not my part of the country.
