Rico, I thought you were a fan of nationalized health care. Seems like that's what your guy Obama wants to bring us.

So, if you are a doctor, surgeon, nurse, you could come here & write your own pay cheque!

There is a shortage of medical personnel worldwide even in the US!

The Mrs said they even have shortage of personal in Oregon.

Indeed, but if we were to intitute nationalized health care here, the basic laws of supply and demand would kick in.

There wouild be a significant increase in demand (that is, the people taking advantage of free/reduced-cost healthcare) while the supply (facilities, personnel) would be the same, at least initially. This would cause longer wait times, and reduction in the average quality of care overall.
