Minds and brains have nothing to do with each other!

Carbs. You've made a good argument for Canada and Europe's system. Trouble
is....we're talking 320 million here, not 35 million. Even worse, the US
has a federal government which has an abysmal record with Medicare. Do you
honestly believe it's up to the task of managing a system like Canada or
Europe. Few in America have that confidence.

A better solution is smart, insurance reform. If that fails, then go with
single payor...not vice versa.

They worked out pretty well. The government wanted to exterminate the
Indians and they damn near did it. Not that that's relevant.
