Are there any shortages of doctors and nurses?

I would trade our system for yours. No question about it. Nothing is perfect, all you can try to do is better. We aren't trying to do better. We aren't doing anything but argue while the problems get worse.

I know what you mean. I feel your pain monthly. If I made more money I would drop my health insurance, get a cataclysmic policy and establish a health savings account.

OK then what solutions do you see. I know that torte reform is needed but that won't reduce cost as much as a lot of folks think. edit: The war billions shouldn't have been spent in the first place. Its that darn Chinese credit card that will get us into trouble.
