What is their population versus ours? How long have they had that system? How cohesive is the population and what do they see as their disparities in their population? Do they have the same class warfare mindset as is prevalent in the USA?

It's much easier to do if it is all you know. It is also much easier to do on a smaller scale. Regardless of how pretty and utopian it sounds it would be a logistical nightmare to implement in the USA because of the sheer size of our population. We may end up with a public/private system, but I don't believe we will ever end up with a full on public system ala Denmark. If by chance we do, I believe it will be long after my lifetime.

And no, we can't take it with us, but I would like to leave something to my children other than debt and taxes.

JMHO, Shelley

I agree that paying for universal health care is an issue. But we can't take it with us, and Denmark seems to have found some answers. With a 50% tax rate, they are the most content people on Earth, it appears: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/14/60minutes/main3833797.shtml

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.
