I am an American in Eastern Europe and see the results of a health care system that for many years did not have a choice. Now we have public and private insurance. I think it is because the poor get insurance but the rich and option (but I am not fully convinced either).<br />That being said, Your title is very eye catching. I wrote something to counter the idea that is the trend about Smith trashing. <a href="http://www.autoinsurance5.com/adam-smith-was-a-good-man/" rel="nofollow">Adam Smith was not saved by Insurance</a> I think anything the government can do, the market can do better. With very few exceptions, this is why I am not fully excited about national insurance in the USA, not would not rule it out. I would not 100% rule out some form of government medical insurance,as it does help the poor, but after seeing Eastern Europe's state run insurance, I am not thrilled about it.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02662964092913417510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-11134292643666462162009-07-12T08:34:41.000-07:002009-07-12T08:34:41.000-07:00the issue is greed and our worship of it. love th...the issue is greed and our worship of it. love the conservative connection, but if they were true conservatives the would not be expansive, allowing an unbribled military complex, to stopping people who love each other from commitmentibekickinbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094851110513375145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-29103735221469342102009-07-11T23:10:19.706-07:002009-07-11T23:10:19.706-07:00This is an interesting evening.

It's fun to imagine these well-written essays being read over the air. To get the full effect, I insert a few meaningful pauses in the imagined oration. There are very few radio personalities who can comfortably and effectively work dead air into their presentation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
