Cecil, I'm not comparing Argentina to anything. That country is a shining example of how socialism and liberal politics have destroyed what once used to be a vibrant economy.
I have an office in Buenos Aires and used to go there about four to five times a year.
All the example was showing is what you get from 'free' medical school.
Fair enough. But I'm not advocating the country become socialist and certainly not like a country that has had the horrible leaders and economy like Argentina has.
I'm simply advocating everyone pay ther own way via taxes and bargaining for lower rates via numbers that will bring prices down, cut out the middle man, and stop feeding the monstrosity we have presently that keeps charging more and giving less. For all we pay in this country no longer have the best medical care. Some european countries put us to shame. (Of course our congress critters have the best medical care money can buy).
As far as free medical school, and even college, I think my mother's side of the family's country has it figured out well. In Germany the state pays for it but you have to prove you're qualified, and only the cream of the crop gets it. The kids are seperated early on whether they will go to university or a trade school. Unlike here kids aren't told they will be a failure if they don't get a degree. Europe has economic issues but Germany still has the highest wages in the world and a powerhouse economy.
I don't understand all the angst about single payer universal health care. Seems to me a lot of businesses would be overjoyed to have the health insurance monkey off their backs. I know I'd hire if I didn't have to deal with it. As a business owner you obviously know how expensive providing health care to your employees is.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
