Bart Gordon calls himself a “blue dog” but is basically walking in lock-step with the expansion of government while also wasting taxpayer money on trips to Europe for him and his wife. http://tinyurl.com/cwe5wb mB It’s funny how Rep.

It is more costly and more inefficient than any other system in the industrialized world. Netmom, your example isn't what a government-run healthcare system looks like. It is what a privatized healthcare system looks like. In Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Japan--you could have had the diagnosis, prescription and likely obtained the medication all in the same trip. Nobody says single payer is "free." It is paid for by taxes. Even the poor pay taxes. How anyone can defend the US healthcare delivery system anymore is beyond my comprehension.
