Be Careful What You Ask For

While many are finding favor with the concept of universal healthcare, imagining it to be a sweet solution to the sour healthcare situation, it might just leave a bad aftertaste in our mouths. Many politicians have proposed such fixes to the health crisis and an increasing number may see it as the answer. My advice: "Be careful." Yes, there is a problem with higher costs for and access to healthcare. However, I don't believe the answer is the federal government. With all its faults, I believe the United States still has the premier health system in the world. Let me ask one question. If you had a very important and irreplaceable package to send, would you entrust it to FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service? Just a thought. Can this carry over to vital issues like healthcare delivery? I would like to start a discussion amongst readers on this topic. I believe honest, open debate is always necessary on such an important issue. Please share your thoughts.
