This will mean that everyone from the janitor to the doctors who work WITHIN the system will work for free too. But more, all of the businesses that supply the system, which in the end is virtually every other industry known, e.g. utilities, office supplies, food service, oil/gas, high tech, heavy industrial, you name it, will Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9551150.post-1146151545108136892006-04-27T11:25:00.000-04:002006-04-27T11:25:00.000-04:00The best way to make health care affordable is to ...The best way to make health care affordable is to give it away.
