I didn't see anywhere that DizzyDeb stated that *ALL* conservatives mistrust healthcare reform.

If you are fine with healthcare reform and the article then clearly the question wasn't directed toward you. But thanks for playing.

I too would like to know what it is that concerns people so much about healthcare reform. My brother says it just costs too much. I can see that, but at the same time I think it is hard to build up the economy and get people to spend money when they know that any accident or illness may push them right into bankruptcy.

I can understand the objection to welfare and "sharing the wealth" I just don't see how it fits into healthcare. Illness is not fair and people aren't going to use more of the healthcare pool because they enjoy being ill. Clearly it is cheaper to have regular healthcare then to be forced to use the ER?
When we see a (veterinary) patient for a 2nd opinion, the first thing we do is try to obtain the records from the previous vet so we are not repeating the same tests, yet I just switched doctors and no attempt is even made to get my old records (not that is much there, but they don't know that). Why are we rerunning baseline values instead of sharing them?

Are we really saying that if you cannot afford healthcare, you just shouldn't get any? Really?
