His headline "Nationalized Health Care is Lousy" was misleading. He touts something called the German Bismarckian system, which from my reading IS a type of nationalized plan. Maybe the British system is lousy, but not ALL nationalized healthcare is lousy. I noticed the Landsman article too. His headline “Nationalized Health Care is Lousy” was misleading.

But I don't see it happening, do you? Even Hillary's campaign is massively funded by corporate health care. The most we'll get is a few marginal changes that the corporations will grudgingly allow to conceal the systemic problems from the average healthy American. For example, they'll end up allowing more children to be covered because that tends to tug hardest at the heartstrings of people fortunate enough not to know how bad things are and what sweeping reforms are truly needed. Amen.
