USNS Mercy is a government hospital ship, one of the biggest and worst designed hospital ships in the history of the world. If ObamaCare is not repealed quickly, I imagine there will be a fleet of private hospital ships off the coasts of the USA, built for the task or modified from cruise ships, rather than converted from an unwanted supertanker. Hospital ships with a non-US flag will be immune from frivolous malpractice lawsuits, free of the unnecessary paperwork that doesn't improve care, and paid in cash by those with the financial means - probably costing far less for better care than we'll get for our tax dollars. I rather like the idea.

THAT is a terrific idea. Call them Liberty Ships.

How about putting doctors and hospitals on Indian reservations. It’s a long way to International waters here in Iowa, but we do have Indian casinos. I wonder how far their sovereignty could be stretched.

An almost prophetic vision... :)

Sounds like something out of Ayn Rand. A business proposition that Midas Mulligan would invest in!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the U.S. Military would be ordered by a future Obama-like leader to shoot these out of the water.....
