Being unconstitutional is hardly a speed bump for the nanny staters; it's for our own good doncha know. FWIW, the disease appears to be spreading to some of our very own Pubbies.
I think if the public ever came to Germany or the UK...and examined the healthcare program that is running...there would be a bit of disenchantment over the results.
Here in Germany...the hospitals, doctors, nurses and drug companies are all set to a certain amount of profit. None are happy about the current effect. If you walk into a German hospital...you will notice that most patients sit in a room where there are five or six beds. Private room are for private insurance folks.....who pay more and get more service. The drug companies have various things rigged up so that they end up with more money...but they are under constant investigation with these various schemes. Nurse and doctors are leaving Germany in pretty good numbers...tired of the non-existent pay increases and the dim future of social heathcare.
