So you folks (here in USA) REALLY want that kind of care do you?

Be careful what you wish for, and how you curse the rest of us with such delayed and reduced quality in care, by trying to encourage the current administration to implement such measures.

Please research, learn, and educate yourselves before encouraging such "feel good" ideas that mathematically and realistically are doomed to fail. Many of these Utopian ideals ARE wonderful, but fail to take properly into account either scalability and/or the human elements (greed, self-centered ego-centrism, etc. (so invariably lead to facism in trying to enforce the "ideal") and so will ALWAYS FAIL. PLEASE wake up from the hallucinations before the damages to our children's futures are irreversible, I beg you.
