At the risk of initiating a giant exchange of vitriol here, I submit an idea presented by Tom Friedman in his column in today's
New York Times.
Here's the thought he presented...
“....Obamacare is socialized medicine,” says the Republican Party. No, no — excuse me — socialized medicine is what we have now! People without insurance can go to an emergency ward or throw themselves on the mercy of a doctor, and the cost of all this uncompensated care is shared by all those who have insurance, raising your rates and mine. That is socialized medicine and that is what Obamacare ends..."
Friedman makes a good point, don't you think?
