My first thread in Activism...what do you think?

catlvr - great first Activism post - as family that pays over $400/month for managed health care, I heartily agree. We do not get to choose our drs. or even the hosp. that will service us - and god forbid that we get sick in another state (which would include MA and CT - practically impossible when you consider how small RI is).

As far as socialized meds. go , I can't really say which is worse. I have lived under socialized meds. and yeah there is a wait for basic service. OTH they offered homebirth as the norm - with a CNM and a Dr. if needed. They offered services as a scaled version of as needed.

OTH I have been at the hosp. in the US with my kids where I've waited for hours to see a dr. due to many people using the ER as a regular dr.'s office due to lack of ins. coverage. But the US is usually ahead of most medical practices in most countries (although you must pay for it).
