Yeah but we don't have it in this country. So it seems premature to condemn it before it we even agree on how we want it to look and work. Put Mark Cuban in charge with gov backing and tell me it cant work.

Well, government has been in charge of Social Security and I got no complaints that persuade me privatizing it would be better. And same so far with Medicare A and B. Point is, rfk alone aint enough to make me think gov controlled national health care is an automatic no. Surprised you see different.

Beyond an occasional unwary traveler who came by rail, this gambler was supposed to prey solely upon reckless and senile farmers, who, when flush with good crops, drove into town in all the pride and confidence of an absolutely invulnerable stupidity.
