Subject: RE: M-INTRO: Healthcare question...


Why does everyone think the government would do a good job running any type
of healthcare agency?  Has anyone dealt with government agencies?  Talk about
wasting money!  I know this is not a popular viewpoint, but the other thing I
don't understand is why it would be better to give the power of everything to
the government?  Capitalism is horrible supposedly because it is taking
advantage of the underpriveleged... I get it... but what makes anyone think the
government wouldn't do the same?  The way I see it, there would be even fewer
people with the power or money if the government had it's hands in everything
we do.  I guess the argument would be that the government is run by "the
people,"  so that would make it all okay, but that doesn't make me feel any
better.
