Re: Whocare

To those who have commented on US healtcare (including Pete):  Evidence
that we are not ready to provide healthcare to all our children and poor
can be found in the liberal enclave of Massachusetts.

Evem we failed to pass a ballot initiative that was supported by the
Prince of Socialized Medicine - Ted Kennedy.  This law would have
prevented not-for-profit HMOs from going for-profit (among other things).
 It was roundly defeated by the corporations who have an interest in
letting our un-feeling market forces prevail.  They controlled the
argument that health coverage is about freedom and capitalism.  

As a practical matter the forces of greed and dispassionate captialism
will ALWAYS win on this issue in this country.
