Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: H1N1 vaccines

Take a historical inventory of nations where the government provides almost everything. Compare to nations with a robust free market system.

Which of the two has shortages of almost everything? Including critical needs? Which is characterized by abundance, even for the lowest income groups? Keep that in mind.

The private medical industry has a long record of providing extensive charitable services and products to people without money, something that astounded another poster a while back when I documented it. The idea of the poor being shoved off the cliff exists only in socialist fantasies.

But this is digression. Does it really make a difference to a person if he gets no vaccine because he can't possibly afford it (18 dollars at Walgreens), or because he isn't in the "right group," selected by some bureaucracy based on ever-changing criteria, and can't get it at any price?
