Long waiting lists have been the only incentive >for people to seek alternatives. > >This is probably a good example of the limits of the individualistic approach >to medicine so dominant in the USA. It would be difficult for someone >to request this form of precaution be taken on their behalf :-). Will members of this list PLEASE refrain from introducing political ideology to their messages! From the principles underlying individualism and free societies, I *know* that the above statements are either misleading or invalid, but, as with so many simple-appearing pronouncements promoting Statism, it would take many hours of research and thought, and many thousands of words to give a full refutation. Neither do I have time for it, nor is this the appropriate forum in which to present such a reply. ***************************************************************** Paul Wakfer 1220 E.
