But don't you understand, kat?  The focus is on "single-payer".  None of the people arguing for a single-payer health care system - at least as far as doctors, healthcare organizations, and other medical professionals are concerned - is likewise advocating for a "single-provider" solution.

They still want to retain their own piece of the industry pie, but they want Big Brother to pay for it, via your taxes.

Imagine that.  LOL]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75200 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75200 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:45:45 -0600 Believe me, I am already knees knocking at the prospect of one payer, government controlled health care.  I don't care what people say about France and Canada or even Britain.  These countries have 1/10th our population and France and Britain are about the size of Texas and Louisiana combined.  Logistically and physically, covering and caring for that population is much different than our nation where fully half of our population lives in "rural" or "small" communities. 

That's before I get on a rant about the ridiculous hoops these guys do and will make you jump through.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75198 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75198 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:27:52 -0600
Leavitt was our former governor. 

He is a hack politician.  Good hair, nice smile, a gift for theatrical flair and using sympathetic victims to promote his pet causes.  He loves being treated as a celebrity, and making grand pronouncements, but dislikes actually doing the grunt work to make stuff happen.

If you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it is "free."]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75197 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75197 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:01:49 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75196 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/07/the_department_1.html#comment-75196 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:46:42 -0600
