-A good post and the car-analogy is very relevant.
I have lived in 5 socialist countries with the kind of health care system that Obama endorses and I fear for what will happen in the US unless this law gets overturned by the Supreme Court.
Today, my father had an MRI done at a private hospital in Denmark. Why? He is in such pain that he can't wait until the public hospital has time to see him.
Two years ago, my mother had her knee replaced. -At a private hospital in Germany. Rather than wait years for a needed operation they chose to pay out of pocket.
A few weeks ago, Norwegian newspapers wrote about a man who have waited two years to have his crushed finger operated on. He is still waiting, but private doctors now tell him the finger can probably no longer be saved.
The most important thing about government-run health care is something that you will not hear on NPR: YOU WILL NOT GET THE CARE YOU NEED, EVEN IF YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT.
