2. THANKS for posting that info! I think a lot of people in the US
THINK that somebody ELSE pays for HC in a universal HC system. I'd bet if you asked them "Who IS that somebody else?" they'd stammer, stutter, and finally say "I don't know, but SOMEBODY, just not me!"

I watched a TV program a week or so ago on our public network about Where is the happiest place on earth. I was a bit surprised that it was Denmark. They admit they do pay high taxes, but they are very happy with the results. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5224306.stm

I'm not really sure the Americans are quite ready for anything like that, and I KNOw the politicians aren't! If the entire program was explained to everyone in a way they could fully understand it, I wonder if the majority really WOULD like the idea?
