Thanks, I needed the break!  :)

Okay, convince me that federal government can do it better (more efficiently
and cost-effectively) than private enterprise.  I can list hundreds of reasons
why the federal government can administer a war-fighting force better than
mercenaries, and I can calculate exactly why private industry would have no
interest in the return on investment from building a highway.  Now, show me
statistically why the federal government is a better choice to administer a
hospital.

I think the problem is that you can't wrap your head around the fact that the
business of life-and-death could be profit driven, but that's life in a
capitalist society.  The fact is that those with more money will always receive
better health care (and better everything) than those without.  The lesson is
that people need to take responsibility for their own futures by getting an
education, honing their talents and competing in the job market.

You can sit around on the rooftop waiting for the federal government to bake
your cookies if you like, but you've seen how that works...
