Sounds good to me.

"curetheworld" - my goodness, aren't you ambitious! Are you familiar with the Declaration of Alma Ata?

No, I don't know.

Please elaborate :)

The Declaration of Alma Ata, as I recall, was the WHO's "Health Care for All" statement. Basically, it was a great idea, but it really never got off the ground - you don't hear much about it any more.

Oh, that's sad!

I saw Michael Moore's 'Sicko' recently. Despite the theatrical presentation, I appreciated his effort in making people aware of the flaws of health care system. There are some great parts in the movie.

Who can explain why we don't have free healthcare? Is it one of the Basic Human Rights? right.... :rolleyes:

Bad frostbite can cause soft tissue injury that includes blood-filled blisters, open wounds, and infections, so there is a risk of tetorifice (similar to a patient who receives a laceration).

One of the biggest problems with free healthcare is that it's tough to find doctors, nurses and hospital administrators to work for free.

You and I may beleive that health care is a basic human right, but there are plenty of people out there, the ones who argue against universal health care, who beleive, or who say that they beleive, that it is not.

I sometimes participate in the God's Politics blog, and it's really interesting to me to hear how people use the Bible to argue against universal health care coverage.
