A marvelous one at that......
Doesn't the idea of greed by Dr.s scare you ?? The idea that a Gov. allows profit over health is obscene... what happened to the "by the people for the people"....(as long as someone makes a profit) that should be added... We the people... please... its we the rich........
Wait till (god forbid) you're on the table waiting for that bypass thinking how you'll keep a roof over your families heads.. 
Yes the "idea" of greed concerns me. However, it matters NOT which entity (public or private) is in charge of a particular industry, corruption will follow like night after day. Count on it. the best you can do is keep things as transparent as possible and root out corruption when and where you find it.
People bandy the words "greed" with labels of good or evil attached. In my opinion, this is wrong headed. Greed is a basic component in the makeup of a human being. It is a tool which humans have utilized for survival in their environment since our appearance many eons ago. It is not good nor evil, it just is. It's what got us here in the first place. Ask any Anthropologist for the skinny on that.
Instead of giving up on the private sector and giving control of your health to a Govt. whose efficiency is overwhelmingly in question, we should look at how we can lower rates in the private sector.
One way off the top of my head is to call off the hyena lawyer industry which feeds on insurance companies. Think Obama is going to give you TORT reform? Please. That alone would make a measurable difference.
Another way is to keep the regulatory Govt. agencies in place but cut the waste and redundancy they inherently create. At this moment taxpayers give the equivalent of the entire country of Canada's GDP to the Govt. to pay for regulatory oversight. Their ENTIRE GDP!!! Think about that.
No, better to not go over the cliff with national health care just yet. As with man made global Warming, there is no pattern of success from which to go by. No country has been able to pull off National health care to any success comparable to the US present day "broken" free market system.
Canadians don't come down here for their health you know. Oh wait, maybe they do.
Look before you leap.
out.
