In Cuba they have a saying about Cuban hospitals. "You go in healthy and come out dead." Similar attitudes are prevalent in Great Britain and Canada. Our health system is not broken, so don't try to fix it. There is a reason Canadians have to come to the U.S. for medical treatment.

Medical Care Confusion

Is there a coherent argument for government-controlled medical care or are slogans and hysteria considered sufficient?

We hear endlessly about how many Americans don't have health insurance. But, if we stop and think-- which politicians hope we never do-- that raises the question as to why that calls for government-controlled medical care.

A bigger question is whether medical care will be better or worse after the government takes it over. There are many available facts relevant to those crucial questions but remarkably little interest in those facts.
