13. Let's be careful

Remember that our country is, more or less, extremely influenced by corporations. It is possible that we could implement a national health care system and that it be a total failure. The fact that it would be implemented in a way that wasn't intended by those that support such a plan will be irrelevant to those that oppose it. They will sing high and loud that Micheal Moore and those like him were wrong and my prediction is that health "care"will be worse then ever.

For those educated in this subject. I mean those that really have knowledge about the way the system should run. I suggest a little caveat with a link to the kinds of systems you'd like to see, not just blindly supporting any system that has a name suggesting that it is a national health care system, when in fact it's some bastardization of what those that support such systems intended.

Just my .02....
