5. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

   Corvus replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Keep in mind that "socialized" comes in different flavors, with different degree of government involvement. In Canada, the Feds shell out cash to the provinces, set national standards for...

    Corvus replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing
