[quote=dumbrenter][quote=Jazzman]Here we go again. The documentary is NOT about socialized vs private. That is not the debate. The core issues are about how care is administered and how it encourages out of control spending, often to the detriment of patient health, and sometimes with fatal consequences. There is a direct relationship between increasing costs and decreasing quality care. Doctors and hospitals obviously understand this better than we do. Whether you have an aunt in the Netherlands, or an ailing mum in the UK, if you haven’t watched the documentary you may be missing the point here.[/quote]

To copy from Mark Twain, those posters who are expressing opinions here are not going to confine themselves to the narrow constraint of the link you posted.[/quote]
LOL! That’s patently absurd, and you clearly haven’t seen the documentary like many of the other posters you refer to. If you don’t mind me saying so, it is a little parochial of you. However, I’m going to take some of the blame here as my post was provocative. It was intended to goad people into watching the documentary. I had hoped that non-political, non-biased factual information coming from doctors and hospitals might diffuse the “war” and make an intelligent contribution to the debate. Too bad so many are so intent on denying themselves the opportunity of finding out the facts and truths. I’m left wondering if that is the problem here and whether it’s worth the effort.
