[TheForge] Re: Marginal Blacksmithing Question

[Lynn Emrich]

I hope this doesn't get me thrown off this list or
worse! I think Mike is correct. "Single payer" seems
to be the only thing that can be considered.
Business's are in the health care for one reason only,
to make money. Otherwise why risk the start up costs?
I don't think anyone could fault them for that but the
methods to gain new customers are intended to deceive.
That's the way they have chosen to maximize profits.

I know there's lots of smiths from Canada on this
list. Can we here from them on how much they hate
their system and wish they has the care that the US
has?

Timidly, Lynn
