Health departments should be 100% public as a matter of efficiency and fairness, as are the police and fire departments. But that doesn't mean they should be 100% federalized. My city runs its own police department, just as it should also run its own clinics. Most emergency and chronic health care, however, should be managed by the states (akin to state troopers). Extreme cases would go to regional federal hospitals (akin to the FBI). Hybrid public-private systems produce corruption and waste.

Plus the dollar's status as the global reserve currency makes it easy to run deficits. Public education is junk in many states, producing low-income workers who are just happy to have a job. The Fed is probably unconstitutional and should be nationalized. All military and aerospace infrastructure should be nationalized to reduce corruption and waste.

It makes no sense. Hospitals are for people that are sick. Giving birth is creating life and wellness. Everyone should see the movie "The Business of Being Born."

I'm all for maximizing human freedom, but I disagree that market economics is _always_ the best path to that end. I also think freedom isn't the only desired goal. Human welfare and dignity within the greater community have to be balanced against individual freedom, but that is a statement of my values, which I happen to think are very American, although obviously not shared by all Americans.

(It's good to be king.) An interesting note about the hospitals, one of the greatest advances in preventing infanting mortality came when a doctor figured out that there would be less infections if the doctors washed their hands between autopsies and gynocological exams. ( I believe he was fired from at least one hosp. before it caught on.) @ BlueEagle8

We all make mistakes or take grammatical license from time to time. For example, I'm sure I've mistakenly used the nominative "you" when I meant to use the genitive "your" in a gerund phrase, so it would be hypocritical of me to judge someone for making the same mistake. Please take no offense, and have a nice day. :-) Just say no to grammar snobbery, people. We all make mistakes or take grammatical license from time to time.
