Here's a neat fact for you:
    In a survey taken last year, the people of Canada (which has 
completely socialized medicine - the government pays for everything) 
were asked if they'd prefer to have a privatized system like the one in 
the US.  95% said NO, that they liked their system better.  (No joke!)
    I'm always suspicious of those who cry about how bad socialized
medicine is.  Many of them have a vested interest in the status quo.  Many 
of them are simply afraid to change.  Many of them are purely greedy, and 
don't want to pay more taxes.  Most of them already have good medical 
insurance, and don't care that a lot of us don't have any insurance at 
all.  In any case, socialized medicine is VERY popular in most of the 
nations that have it.
    Just a thought!
