More to the point.. with profit based healthcare someone, whose motive is their profits, is always measuring your healthcare against their profits. Does that sound like a fully functional system?
I've heard some pretty scary stuff about every provider. The Hilo Medical Center sure has their share.. the VA their's. I could cite reams of horror stories about the Bay Clinic. Even North Hawaii has some skeletons in their closet... and they're often held up as the best we got.
Still, single payer is the only sane way to run healthcare.. and yet, god forbid we ever have it run by anything close to the way the feds run our government today.
