I agree. I DONT want socialize medicine to take hold in the USA. I dont want some goverment official telling my MD that I cant have an MRI because I just had one a year ago, nor do I want to go on a wait list for 6 months, even though its emergent. I want my MD to be in charge of my medical care, and my banker to be in charge of my finances, and my mechanic to be in charge of my car...its a slippery slope, and once you start sliding, its hard to control the direction you are racing down the hill in.
