Perhaps you didn't read my post. I PERSONALLY have benefited from medicine over surgury as has my insurance company. So, it is not improbable. Further, I PERSONALLY have talked to Doctors who indicated that treating illness with medicine is significantly better for patients rather than putting them in hospitals.

Thanks for the anecdotes...very interesting. But of course they have no bearing on this thread.

To say that medicine does not improve the quality of care is idiotic.

Of course it is. And oddly enough, I never said that. Did you read what I said?

Pick at a thread to justify your narrow minded opinion if you like but I'm guessing you haven't read the bill either and have no clue what the implications are. All this rhetoric about cost is just rhetoric.

Actually, I read this bill in full. Let's review our prior conversation: you claimed providing medicines will save cost over the term of a patient's life. I asked for the evidence. You've done nothing but attack from that point forward.

Let's just buy our all our medicine from Canada. That is just as likely to solve the problem as whining about it.

I'm not sure where buying medicine from Canada entered the conversation. Perhaps that's thrown in to distract me from the actual topic at hand?

But, we can agree that the media is useless. Or, there would be a complete analysis. That would be the same media that picked the points that everyone is whining about.

So now you're admitting that there is no complete analysis of whether providing Rx drugs will reduce total cost over a patient's lifetime. Why didn't you just say that up front, instead of claiming you had the definitive answer?

Your argument is silly. It is not practical for me to analyze to cost of millions of patients over several decades to answer your question. And you know that. Your debating skills are exquisite. Hooray the victor. You must be right because I cannot perform thousands of hours worth of analysis.

Whoops, sorry, you didn't prove your point either. You just proposed it was not effective. You can't prove it either.

Yet, my personal experience as well as yours is that it is more effective.

Men that I trust over anonymous posters on the Internet also believe it.

Men that I don't trust are opposed.

I gotta' stand somewhere and for now, it's easy for me.
