Yahoo! ran the following in their Answers section: Tell Hillary Clinton: How Can We Improve Health Care?

Most notoriously, it purports to be posted by Hillary Clinton herself. Unfortunately, the reams of responses reveal just how far gone over the slippery slope of socialism the American public already is.

Socialized medicine is NOT the answer!

Any programs whereby the government extracts taxes from the public and then attempts to produce entitlements is sheer welfare, with all its inefficiencies, and only harms the crucial and innovative work of the nation's real producers: its private sector.

The answer is the same as it always was in any industry: government needs to GET OUT OF THE WAY. It is the health industry's reliance upon base level Federal law that lets it get away with factoids like the following:

"Over a million patients are injured in hospitals each year, and approximately 180,000 die annually as a result of these injuries. Therefore, the iatrogenic injury rate dwarfs the annual automobile accident mortality of 45,000 and accounts for more deaths than all other accidents COMBINED." -- Journal of the American Medical Association, July 5, 1995

When medicine is socialized, quality of care will hit the skids... and the above statistic will grow much worse. Look at the quality of care in countries that have attempted Universal Health Care. The Brain Drain is only one issue. When America institutes this plan, doctors won't have anyplace to go except to become a second assistant bookkeeper for more money.

The only answer to this and any question of how to lift Americans out of poverty and low living standards (which are really the underlying problem) is to foster free markets.
