But they didn't show some of our awful clinics either..... ________________________________ From: ultrasound@obgyn.net [mailto:ultrasound@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of -- ________________________________ Ellerd Family Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 7:57 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: Re: Important PBS series in March Forgive me for not watching "Sicko", but did they show the average Cuban clinic? Or did they show a hospital for touristas or Cuban officials? And the statement below disturbs me some, very subjective in nature. Can we mention how superior it is in many ways also? As broken as our system may be, I would prefer to pay out the nose for healthcare and still receive it than to have it rationed to me, or it not be available to me at all due to budget constraints and tax evasion. Not insinuating that anyone here has used this term but, the whole term "free" healthcare bothers me as well. It isn't free when you pay for it on the front end. I'm much more inclined to support a system say where children under 18, seniors over age 65, and the mentally ill are provided for. Would it work? Not with the present tax and welfare system. Do you think a switch to tax payer funded healthcare would be feasible at this point? Probably not. Are you willing to give up a sizeable portion of your pay and benefits to fund it? Somehow I don't believe it will happen any time soon. Good hard numbers in this discussion would be helpful in demonstrating the disparities of the systems, and at that point I think it should be determined by the individual which they feel is more advantageous or more broken. Do I have those numbers? Nope, sorry. I hope those proponents of the tax payer funded healthcare system would have it...after all it sounds all warm and fuzzy, but I've never seen real numbers put to paper that would convince me that it is all that it seems to be. JMHO, Shelley We all know that our system is inferior in many ways to these other systems Next message: James Smeltzer: "Re: Important PBS series in March" Previous message: Biju Pushpan: "Fw: REMOVE" In reply to: Ellerd Family: "Re: Important PBS series in March" Next in thread: DuBose, Terry: "Re: Important PBS series in March"

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
