Reply #200: Well, first of all [View All]

The Cato Institute is a right wing think tank. If you're going to contend that you aren't a right winger, then I'd think about looking elsewhere when backing something up, and, when you do find something, make it a little more substantive than that.

Second of all, all that does is talk about how they have to ration their health care more in Europe. What do you think the HMOs do in this country? The only difference is, it is executives making the decisions.

Thirdly, we may very well have to ration no matter what we do. But the current system leaves millions of Americans with no coverage AT ALL. Very different than the European system, which rations, but EVERYONE IS COVERED. And, of those Americans who are covered, many are undercovered, or are denied life saving care to pad the bottom line of a private corporation, where some suit overrode a doctor's recommendation.
