I am all for trying to "improve" our system ... not just a massive overhaul and I am against government control of 1/3 of our GDP. Nearly every program and proposal that Obama has made since becoming president is another step toward socialism. He definitely thinks it is an attractive and interesting form of government. I read his books.

My point on doctors in France, they do not have the same requirements we have in the US to practice medicine ... most countries do not. If we told US doctors they will make between $50 and $100m and get to ride in an ambulance and make house calls for $65 they would laugh at you. You will not get the best and the brightest at those levels. They will do something else with their life and career. That was why I said over time a government "controlled" and run system will cause a decline in healthcare.

I saw the piece on CBS this morning as well. Please keep in mind that France is smaller than texas. And even at that, their population is concentrated. What works for a small country or population can not always be replicated on an economy the size of the US that has its economic model built on capitalism. Trying it and failing could be a disaster beyond comprehension. That is why I keep saying, it is not broken, improvements are needed, NOT a total overhaul.
