[QUOTE="brett636, post: 244143, member: 249"] Cheryl- Thank you so much for posting John Stossel's report. I wanted to watch it when it aired but was unable to and forgot to record it. Beatupbrown- I think you totally missed the boat on Stossel's report. He showed people from both sides of the issue. I dunno how much more centrist you can be when it comes to a report like that. He showed the downsides to both universal healthcare, and the U.S. for profit system. Whole foods appears to be getting it right in helping to foster competition in the healthcare industry and we need more companies to take that route. You say you want some stats from me, and you are right. So far you have posted slanted stats from nobody phd's and micheal moore. How about we get some information straight from the horse's mouth. Places like, I dunno, Britian's department of health: Or how about a Canadian Supreme Court judge? Even Canada is starting to jump on the private healthcare bandwagon I received these stats from the following sources: [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_and_American_health_care_systems_compared[/URL] [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Canada[/URL] [URL]http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-tanner5apr05,0,2227144.story?coll=la-opinion-rightrail[/URL] Neither idea provides a healthcare utopia as both have their drawbacks.
