Subject: The fate of medicine
Looks like government controlled medical care is on the way. The Democrats are taking advantage of their temporary total control of the federal government to start a new "entitlement" and take another step toward their vision of the benevolent world of socialism. One has to hand it to them. They are more persistant and determined than the Republicans when they were in the same position. Of course Bush had the little problem of 9/11 to contend with.
I view the struggle of medicine to progress in the face of government control in the last couple of decades as a metaphor of a man trying to make his way across a bog with his feet mired in mud that sucks back with each step forward. We watch in horror as we begin to see him finally tire and falter.
