Onmy recent visit to Washington DC i was warned about drinking the Kool aid. While I didnt find the city to have chaned since President Bush was in office, I did notice more talk on street about the "rock star" qualities of President Obama and the impending change that was afloat. During these discussions with taxi drivers, locals and shop owners, I found myself slowly deciding that there is some amount of change that needs to happen.
So, here is what I said, outloud: I am fine with a government run system, as long as agents remain a vital part of the system.
Yep....me, the mother of all free market systems may have been won over by the sweeping change. I'm still not sure how we are going to pay for it, where doctor;s will find the extra time to see all of us and how the hospitals will expand to find bed's for us all.
I'm reminded of a story....when you go to a buffet and there is steak, chicken, shrimp and lobster. Most people get the most expensive thing (and lots of it) cause they all paid one price. Who wants to eat chicken when you can have lobster? Who is going to skip dessert and extra bread? No one. The same thing translated into medical care. If everyone is playing for it...we are all going to start using it. No more home remedies, herbs, and living with something. We are all going to rushing to the health care buffet.
I just made myself hungry,

But here's the thing with everyone using the services. What they are finding in the UK and Canada, and other countries where universal healthcare coverage is available, is that universal healthcare delivery is not available. Long lines, slow turn arounds, delays in treatment, all are a fact of life with universal healthcare coverage. The infrastructure will never be able to keep up with the demand in this country. Look at the highways as a perfect example.
