>>>You refuse to give an answer on my question of 'what about the MDs' and now asking for an explanation of the word socialism?
>>>
>>>Indeed, only the stupid and sensative tea party american will get irritate by such a question that ends with a smily.
>>>
>>>Walter, I gave you an answer. You didn't like the "packaging" surrounding the answer. I refuse to do your research for you.

>>>Physicians, engineers, scientists have left Europe for the United States. It's not my fault you're too mule-headed to see the writing on the wall. The United States, even with its flaws, is the greatest country in the world. There is a reson for that - one of them is that we have a politico-economic system that, despite its mixes, is the best system around.
>>
>>Why do I personally know a few american physicians and scientists that have LEFT the US recently? Again, your so full of your percieved greatness of your own country that your not able to see whats going on outside of it. Yes the US attracks high schooled people from all over the world, mainly to build up a better future. In the past they mainly came from europe, but nowerdays much more from other regions of the world. But that does not make the economic situation for John and jane Doe any better, does it?
>>
>>Well believe what you want to believe, to me the US is a country that is on the edge of getting a 3rd world country. The split between poor and rich and the smaller getting middleclass is not a healthy sign by far. I've seen much more of the US (and that includes pennsylvania and the neighbourhood arround phillydelphia that reminded my travelling to 3rd world countries) than you have seen about europe. I visit the US quite regulary, different states, different cities and have quite a few friend in the US. I travel quite a lot through europe as well, the poor countries and the richer ones.
>>
>>So please tell me which countries outside of the US did you visit recently?
>>
>>Dream on Kevin,

>Walter, how many Tea Party rallies have you visited? not recently, at all? :). But you think you know all about them.

Ever heard of the word: Stereotype ?

>Btw, I have been to Europe more times than you ever been to the US.

How do you know? You're bluffing your way through. With what confidence can you tell me that? And to which countries in europe? No visiting your family in an eastern european country does not count.

I have been following many blogs of professionals in Spain.

ROLFL, yeah, of course, then you're getting a true picture of life in the whole of europe. Whahhaa, so if I follow a blog of a few Physicians in the US, that makes me a US expert? I'm working with US physicians, EVERY DAY. I know your healthcare better than most americans. I know how physicians work and think, why and how. How they fill in their superbills and encountersheets with ICD9, ICD10, CTP codes of their medical procedures. I Know the details of HIPPA, the regulatory bodies of the CDC, the mess with insurances and co-pay, the risks of missing information and the paper chart chaos and therefore the risks of being fined, or worse being sued. the mess with information systems interconnected with HL7, ASTM, DICOM and PACS systems. In my contact book, the physicians and medical professors from all over the globe are coming out of my yin-yan.
