Default Re: government sponsored healthcare systems

I don't know which is worse a Health Care system run by the HMO's or one run by the government. Neither in my opinion considers the individual as anything more than a pawn to be moved around for self serving purposes. (whoa, my cynical side is showing)

I do know about our free healthcare for those can't pay whether by choice or circumstance. I work with drug and alcohol addicted prostitutes, many of whom, due to their issues, are on SSI and other forms of "free" healthcare. Some really need it, others are working the system. We pay for all of them.

The sad gap is the working middle class that can't afford health insurance and don't get it at work.

This is an issue that has many answers and none.
