If I could look into the future and be guaranteed it would work as advertised I wouldn't be opposed, but I think there's huge risk in the implementation and transition that could lead to either greatly increased cost or reduction of care. Nothing is guaranteed. It's why if you want a safe investment you can deposit in a savings account and get 0.1% interest. Or you can buy stocks and average 9% a year. Greater risk is required for greater reward. Personally, I don't think there is much risk in this area, at least for purely healthcare considerations. Every other country that has tried single payer has achieved results better than what we have right now. So I think the risk is quite low. The real risk is that people decide this means we can socialize other aspects of the economy too, and end up in USSR 2. But again, many countries have socialized healthcare without socializing everything so it's not a huge risk and we should just go for it IMO. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
