So what do you suggest as an alternative? Do you think privatised health care is really that much better?
what about MedFICO? Do you agree with this? A system where patience will be given a credit risk score, and a low score could effect the quality of
your health-care?
What are we doing? Trying to keep ourselves healthy, or just creating new markets to exploit? What incentive do we want, making money, or providing
health care?
Is health care a right, or a privilege? To deny someone health care because they can't afford it is completely unethical. It is putting value on
Human life.
As far as private health care being better is simply not true. The commonwealth fund lists the US well behind countries with socialised health care
last year.
“less than half of U.S. adults with health problems were able to get a rapid appointment with a physician when they were sick. They also were
the most likely among adults in seven countries surveyed to report difficulty obtaining health care after hours without going to the emergency
department.”

Do you only see two choices for health care?
Well I see a third, self-managed health care. It's been done before...
One of the most, important questions raised by health workers who have been introduced to self-management ideas is WILL THESE IDEAS WORK IN
PRACTICE? HAVE THESE IDEAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE PAST? This leaflet attempts to outline the background of the SPANISH REVOLUTION (1936-‘39) and
how health care was delivered in the anarchist (Libertarian Communist) sections of Spain during this period.

Our health and our very existence is being sacrificed to profit. Unless we change our mind set, and quit seeing money as the only motivator, then
things will never improve. Before anything will change for the better, we need to change the way we look at things.
