Health Care Eden?

It amazes me the ridiculous rhetoric regarding a new health care plan.

Can anyone deny that our current situation of roughly 40 million uninsured Americans - 12% of our population - works? Or that our infant mortality rate ranking of 33rd in the world is acceptable? Or that the infant mortality rate for black mothers, which would equate to a world ranking of 74th, behind Jamaica, is a reasonable standard of care.

People talk about our cancer survival rate, which is 1st or second (depending upon the year) with Japan, versus the UK and Canada which are in the teens. However, the reason for the survival rate is early testing, which is more of a social norm, rather than poor or unavailable surgeons. The survival rate for people who are diagnosed at the same stage are the same.

Why is it that people on the anti-side of the "public option" either spout nonsense or outright lie?

On the other hand, how does the government intend to implement this plan? Providing insurance without providing care is a waste of energy and time. We need more rural and inner city care. Where is the plan to set up clinics that can diagnose problems and dispense meds, provide nutrition advice, and pre + post natal care?

Making rural or inner city patients drive to the burbs will not have a meaningful effect on the uptake of health care. It needs to be convenient, efficient, and inexpensive for it to work.

Lets get more details please.
