>Some americans really have a hardtime to learn what euthnesia is about. I suspect this is so because of the huge polarisation between right and left and the huge stakes of the pharmacy industry. The latter is doing about anything to keep getting away from healthcare reform, including misleading the public.

>For me it is hard to imagine american are so incapable of getting health care reform. In our coutries, we live our lives spending less on healthcare, needing less healthcare, and thinking/worrying less about healthcare. All this doubt of quality and of course the throw in of the evil word of all evil 'socialized' medicine keeps them divided while the facts are telling them again and again that they pay too much on healthcare and overall quality is substandard.

You are right about some, however, 66% of Americans want healthcare reform. The question is what type of reform and how much. There is entirely too much media focusing on the extremists that the majority of folks who really want reform (and 66% is a majority) get lost in all the drama.

I really think we will have a more modest reform implemented by the end of next year, if not this year. The change will be gradual so that the public is more accepting of it. I also think that somewhere down the road, eventually, it will evolve into a full-fledged socialized healthcare system. It just won't be that way from the get-go.
