" Well buddy, you should start off by getting yourself a better education before you start sending letters off the editor with mispelled words. Second, you should go get yourself a job. I work my butt off to take care of myself and my family, and I'm proud of that. It's a trait I learned from my parents and grandparents who were proud American's and never asked for handouts from those who worked harder or equally as hard as they did. You should try it, it's empowering. Move to another planet, you aren't helping humanity either. "

" Yikes! Where is this entitlement mentality coming from? Reread the United States Constitution and if you don't agree, our European neighbors will be happy to move you into their blissful utopia.

As for physicians being underpaid, that's something very unfortunate indeed. Think 'Cash for Clunkers' and the woefully underpaid car dealerships who have yet to receive Government compensation and you'll truly begin to understand the plight of our Nation's physicians. "

" Our government can only serve three basic functions. It's first purpose is regulation, and what It cannot regulate it taxes. It's third function is to award some of the money back in some form or another. It looks like the author in this case completely missed that. somewhere around two thirds of America is on the take in one form or another, and in other forms like defense, we all benefit from it. Hey, at least we aren't sending eight billion dollar checks to Russia anymore. "

" The "Bush Administration" got us deregulation? Really? Huh. Seems to me you don't follow current events real well. Otherwise you'd know that it was the liberals (including Pelosi and Obama) that pushed through easing banking and lending regulations AGAINST the will of the White House, which was a HUGE part of this recession.
I guess you (like other sheep) swallowed all that nonsense during the campaign where Pelosi and friends went around pointing fingers at Bush and hoping nobody would remember thier role. "

" We see what the last 8 years of Bush rule got us. Deregulation Deregulation Deregulation! A near Depression! When are the Dumber than Joe the plumber crowd going to realize Government is not the problem entirely and lowering taxes on someone making minimum wage is no real answer. Wake up! It's a talking point to get your vote. Good government is a mix/balance of capitalism and socialism. If no greed existed in this world then I guess a total Capitalistic Society would work. Wake up! GOP talking heads. It exists, Big Oil, Pharma, Health Insurance, Wall Street, CEO Executives. "

" Well, Mr. Sonin can move to any socialist utopia he pleases. Sounds like he would appreciate teh high cost of living in Canada. High cost because of socialism.
Capitalism does generate a need for education. What good is an uneducated work force?
What about the last 150 years of innovation that the U.S. is famous for?
All the science and creativity that has given us the highest standard of living in the world?
This guy ignores history.
Another liberal who ignores reality.
So, what else is new?
An Obamacrat. "

" Capitalism has been going down hill before Obama. I'm not an Obama fan but people who contiune to blame him for the current economy problems need to take a look at american history. Also there have been forms of socialism in the US for a long while. It does not matter whether we live under a capitalism communism, socialism system "WE THE PEOPLE ARE SCREWED" "

" No, you're right. I can't. And I'm dang glad I can't. I also can't list the various strains of marijuana found in the Americas, where to buy cheap Birkenstocks or the best place to join a old-growth tree activist group. Poor me. "

" Now stop PowerWagon. You are confusing political and economic systems.

Fact is that monopoly capitalism necessarily has problems when you apply it to health care which is necessarily a redundant and sometimes inefficient process.

Oh, and it's sitar and I bet you can't list the modes for morning and evening ragas respectively. "

" Great article, Comrade Sonin! We could all benefit from taking a look at the successes the world has seen from socialism! You know, great places like the (former) USSR, Vietnam etc!

Good lord! Go smoke another one, listen to your scitar twanging, listen to your Beatles records and light off some more insense! LOL! "

" Capitalism should not be allowed to trump democracy or obliterate humanitarian concerns.

Capitalism's ugly sister, corporatism, has caused problems for humanity. Corporations should not be solely in charge of health care in America. We need the government option, now, for humanitarian purposes.

The major opposition to health care is about money, and not about what is best for the people who need the most help. What do we value, after all, corporations, money, and useless things, or people and life? "
