Socialized Medicine is Here
It has become as predictable as the annual return of flu season and the August rush of sports physicals. Mention comprehensive health care form or universal coverage to those on the political right and they label it “socialized medicine” as a means to squelch any further debate.

Earlier this year, AETNA led the charge to stop paying for anesthetics [...]
ECONOMISTS TAKE CRITICAL VIEW OF CANDIDATES HEALTH PLANS
