Thad,
Socialized medicine is not the answer.
A Health Savings Account is the answer. What is does:
- Keeps transactions between doctor and patient, in which, it keeps the patient in control of how the money is spent.
- Health savings accounts will encourage individuals to shop for health plans that best fit their needs and to make cost-conscious decisions about how they spend their own health dollars as opposed to a third party's money.
- HSA represents the single most significant transformation that can be made in saving the country from skyrocketing health costs and steadily increasing calls for taxpayers to finance more and more of the health care system through higher taxes.
Coupled with transparency in costs, as well as, cost comparison information it is the better way.
As to Rudy Giuliani:
In any other presidential election year, a socially moderate Republican winning the party's nomination would have been unthinkable to many GOP strategists. But, they say, 2008 is different. Not only is there no heir apparent to President Bush, it's also the first contested Republican primary since the terrorist attacks and national security is the dominant issue.
Conservatives who have aligned themselves with Giuliani say that's a primary reason they're comfortable backing him.
I would vote for Newt Gingrich or anyone that would not leave the country saddled with Hillary. Her college dissertation was written in praise of a Communist - Antonio Gramsci. That is very telling, IMO.
