Normally I would bow to your "no brainer" expertice, but I must object to
the idea that Medicare saves American society money.

Technophobia is well known and widespread in government. Didn't you know
that Medicare is how LBJ made Perot rich?

No, a single payer plan would doom women with breast cancer to die.

Let me add, in the allowcation process, a decision had to be made WRT
spending on women's health care issues and men's health care issues,
especially those men's health care issues associated with faggotry.

In Canada, women are discouraged from making self exams and the recomended
x-ray screening program is much shorter in years. Why bother, you won't get
any care anyway, breast cancer is an inefficient course of medicine.
