I understand the problems with socialized medicine in Europe, but this isn\’t the same is it? I mean, it\’s not like every person will just be covered and that all costs associated with medicine will be through taxes. Unless I read this wrong, aren\’t the insurance providers still going to charge a premium for the service they provide. Tax dollars will have to pay for the subsidy on the poorer workers, but they will still have to purchase with money they earn. That is the case, right? So, I don\’t think you\’re going to see what\’s happening in Europe. It sounds like to me this is not going to affect the person who currently has insurance that much. You may have to pay slightly more in taxes (but, probably a negliable amount), but you\’ll still have your same program through your work. It sounds like it will greatly help with hospitals trying to collect deductibles, and it people begin to utilize preventive medicine, it may even cut down on malpractice suits and will definitely cut back on the high cost of the ER being the primary physician for those uninsured.

Hmmm. Education comes immediately to mind. Certainly state universities & colleges – but also public elementary schools – which educate everybody under tough conditions – not just the pampered spawn of the rich. Then, let\’s see,… weather prediction, scientific research, preservation of wilderness and parks, medical care for the disadvantaged. Nice chatting with you, Milton.
I was waiting for the education one, so here goes. Let\’s start with primary and secondary education. SAT scores are higher across the board for private/parochial scools, than for public schools, and I emphasize this… no matter the income level of the parents!!! Same income level of those attending private will score acorss the board better, than those attending public schools. Lets not eliminate public schools, but give parents a voucher, to dare I use the phrase… choose the school of their choice. Univeristies? While Indiana University is a fine school, don\’t you think Notre Dame might be a little better? Harvard vs any other state school in the country? You, however got me on the weather prediction one. I give up on that one. Won\’t give up on scientific research though, we have the best minds working in private industry, with pharmacueticals, computers, medical research etal., but I will give you space exploration. As far as trees go, there are more growing in the United States now, than when Columbus discovered America. I really don\’t think the term \”pampered spawn of the rich\” is a good term, Teddy Kennedy would be highly offended.
