Your probably right Rick, Socialized medicine will be the end of capitalist america and the beginning of comi-america. Hell while we are at it we should commercialize the police, fire depts, and public schools too. This way if you don't pay, it's no education (more Rush Limbaugh listeners), no peace keepers, and no fire protection for you. The new america where if you don't pay, or your parents don't pay, then your dumb, unprotected, and your house burns down while no one cares. An america where your citizens refuses to contribute toward anything that can benefit there fellow man, as long as the money you saved gets you a few more old 911's in your garage. I can see it now "so ma-am you've been raped, your child molested, your husband is dead, and then the criminal stole your car........... now did you pay your police bill this month" she replies"no sir" he replies "well sounds like a tough one for you, but i'm sure you'll get over it have a nice day".
