Reply #9: Does this mean

[existentialist]

that if Ron Paul had a chance of winning that you support him?

how about that other physician Republican, and erstwhile candidate for President: Bill Frist?


Hmmm?


my own take is that a knowledge of medicine does not equate to a knowledge of health care systems and of financing health care systems.


Although they are not physicians, and although their proposals vary, and are all subject to attack for bias, I actually do think that all three remaining first tier candidates--and for that matter Richardson and Kucinich, and Biden and Dodd, and Gore too all have better ideas on how to fix the health care system than many physicians, including the aforementioned Republican candidates for President.

For that matter, I also think that health care, while vitally important, is something better addressed by Congress than from the White House.
