I work in the private sector health care industry and good things are coming if the government doesn't screw it up first.
I work in the private sector health care industry and would like to know where and when these good things are coming, and where they have been. The system has been in decline for decades and is grinding to a halt...bottom line.
Linking abortion to this holds no water and is tantamount to fanning the fires of fear IMHO. The only possible link I can see is that the individual decision about about abortion is a personal moral and spiritual decision since there is no definable point of when life occurs from a scientific standpoint, much as is the decision on when the time for stopping certain interventions is in some instances.That discussion could go on indefinatley for exactly that reason.
The present powers at be in health care have had a long time to show how well they can run our healthcare system, and internationally accepted measures of success show we are failing dismally given the dollars we spend.
