Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Barack Obama hoists the white flag over Stalinist health care proposals

How about a system which financially rewards people for taking care of themselves...and staying healthy? How about a system which financially rewards doctors and hospitals for keeping their patients healthy? How about making tobacco illegal? How about making hard liquor illegal? How about financially rewarding auto manufacturers for making safer cars? How about looking at the pharmaceutical industry with a scanning electron microscope? How about turning the GAO loose on the medical industrial complex? How about a system which pays Naturopathic Doctors as much as Medical Doctors? How about a system which sends people to Naturopathic Doctors who keep their patients healthy...and who treat their patients without drugs and surgery?

Oh...I forgot...that would make sense and save one hell of a lot of money. We can't have that! Who knows what that would lead to?
