Looking at the drug companies(Do we really need another erectile
dysfunction drug?), the insurance companies, the HMO's and greedy
doctors(My sister's and father's doctors recently changed their
practice so you have to put up a thousand or more dollars to stay
their patient!), I am convinced that greed not compassion drives the
health industry in America.  I am also more convinced that a
socialized health care system is the way to go.

Being one person who lives in a Socialist Democracy, where health care is
paid for primarily by the government, I can tell you that it has as many
negatives as it does positives.

You are much better off having a comprehensive health care plan, either
through your place of employment or by subscription to a group plan.

No system is perfect.  I am one of the lucky ones in America, I have
private insurance.  That said, even I know there is something badly
wrong with health care in America where there are many people, some of
them my relatives, who don't have and can't afford health insurance.
It is becoming more and more a practice of employers in America not to
provide health insurance.  There is a big strike at supermarkets over
this point in California.  The only statistic that America leads the
world in health care is cost.
