What if you are a transplant recipient who will reject your new organ if you miss a dose of your rejection medicine? How do you feel relying on these people?

I don’t know why you all call it “privatization”. It is actually Corporatization…or Capitalization that the US health care structure suffers.
Call it what it is! Corporations practicing medicine… for profit, and nothing else but profit.

…
I remember talking to a coworker back during the Clinton administration. She informed me that from her point of view, the economic atmosphere of the mid-nineties was attributable to Ronald Reagan. …

So, she’s willing to say Jimmy Carter “won the Cold War”?

The Bush administration would put privatization of the Trident Missile SLBM submarine fleet up for bid if it’d bring more money into the RNC.

Not to be too pessimistic, but who’s to say they haven’t already.

We haven’t exactly heard a clear explanation of what was going on with the Minot AFB nukes on the loose — maybe the buyer is still waiting.

“I’m shocked, shocked,” says Captain Renault, to find unrepentant greed in healthcare..

I’ve trackbacked (or is it trackedback?) to firedoglake post on this (trying, anyway), so that if you need lots more examples of why we need single payer, you can click on the various topics I have set up on the right to get data when you are in a fracas…

Is the REASON the criminal Bush Gang is not ALL in prison because of the Democratic Leadership Council’s hold on Democrats? I need to do more FREEWAY BLOGGING and am thinking that the DLC is a fine target!

Sorry PW, did not mean to hijack the thread. Perhaps some “captain Obvious reporter will find gravity sucks.

Been there, done that! Three times.

You are entitled to hijack. Grandparenting is absolutely wonderful.

Nine years ago last Friday, I had the opportunity to witness the birth of my second grandchild, (thanks to an envite by my wonderful daughter in law), an event I will never forget. Had she waited 2 hours to be born, we would have shared a birthday. Couldn’t get there in time for the first, and was babysitting the younger during the last.

They are all precious.
