I Wonder – Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

There seems to be a lot of talk about the women <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/08/17/news/state/55-quads.txt">having identical quadruplets</a> here in Montana the other day. I really have to wonder though, if Canada's single payer health care system that so many in the US want to emulate, is so great, why did these people have to drive down to the US to have these babies? If the US had the same system would there have been anyplace for this couple to go yo have these babies? I wonder. n nThen when you do look at government run health care in the US, the Indian Health Service jumps right out at you. Sen. Jon Tester was just at a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/08/16/news/state/28-money_x.txt">meeting about that situation</a> in Crow Agency the other day. The IHS is chronically underfunded they decided and needs more funding. Will it happen? I don't know but it does point out the fact that government run health care doesn't seem to cut the mustard. n nI'm not saying I have the answer here. Insurance rates are out of this world and almost completely unaffordable by the average person yet Governments don't seem to be able to do the job either chronically underfunding health care. I wonder what the answer is going to be, I really wonder. n nYou often wonder where the energy for someone to make the decisions that they make comes from. Matthew Shipp
