[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 679057, member: 3306"] The thing that Americans will not like about socialized medicine, and correct me if I am wrong, you Canadians, is that Americans will not tolerate the government telling them what procedures they can and can't have and what doctor to go to. I liked my HMO, personally, but a lot of folks will not tolerate going to a doctor that they did not choose. Likewise with procedures, and once again, correct me if I am wrong, but socialized medicine is basically health care rationing. In other words, you can't get a two liver transplants, or even one, if you are not healthy enough to be of any used afterward, you might have to use a midwife to have a baby if you are having a healthy pregnancy, you might have to wait or not receive elective surgery... I don't have issues with any of that. Micky Mantle was a drunk and he had, what three livers? And died anyway? I bet there were two other families that wanted those organs for their loved ones. And he probably shouldn't have received the first one, being as he as a famous alcoholic. Larry Hagman had two, didn't he? Of course, rich people can go wherever and get what they want done, but that's just an example. I had my last child with a midwife and it was great. Mostly... But I'd do it again. We want it all! And we aren't willing to wait for it or be on a list or to be told that it is not necessary. We want to get fat and get a lap band. I'm oversimplifying it, I know. [/QUOTE]
