Wow.

IMO this is about more than just womens rights, but I'll jump on any bandwagon that gets this stopped. With them jumping ship to say "I want to be able to say no to these people because they have no health care provider, but yes to these people because they are obviously rich and can pay their bill faster than them", is just scary too.

There's a lot of private hospitals up here now as it is, and it's scary to see that 80% of the "public" and/or "county" hospitals have taken to turning people away at the door rather than treating the problem.

This is something that tells me as well, that socialized medicine WOULD NOT be a bad thing - because at LEAST then the doctors don't have a choice - they HAVE to treat you because you have the right and it's backed by the country.

But again - I suppose we have to live in a country that cares more for it's people than the bottom line - which is looking to me more and more like we don't.
