Thats the answer.. Not socialized medicine.
Your argument would apply much more fitting and argument for Preventive Medicine.
Something a contained system like an HMO could implemement much more effective than a government ran healthcare system.
Diabetes, obesity, High Blood Pressure are many of the reasons we as Americans have health issues.. They are all factors that could be avioded thorugh preventitive medicine. Not socializing our system.
You think the current system likes or wants this?
No.. An HMO does not...

"Blah blah blah....." ??
I'm only saying the situation's fucked... and it is.
Maybe the answer's in socialized medicine, maybe it's in something else... but when people are getting rejected by insurance companies and HMO's because they have some ailment... forced to fend for themselves into bankruptcy - with no other options but to leave our country... that's fucked.
When we have bottom-line-minded pencil pushers that are making the "final cut" decision on what health needs you need... that's fucked.
When we have people hard at work who's entire job is to counter-act your doctor's recommendations, and provide a basis for not treating you so that they can fulfill their legally bound duty to make more money for their shareholders... that's fucked.
When you have doctors that are getting promoted and supported based on the amount of services that they reject to their patient-base... that's fucked.
Preventative medicine? That's a joke in this country for the average American, as if you aren't in dire need of some sort of service, it isn't paid for by most insurance companies.
And how the hell are you going to prevent shit like Cancer? Or inherited diseases (with 100% success) like diabetes... and once you have either, you're likely fucked for life - no insurance company will touch you... (HMO's included)... that's fucked.
I'm not asking for your Anal Hobbit routine here... step our of your bubble and open your eyes.
Or don't.
Can't debate this shit all day... I got work to do.
