YOUR VIEWS: Senate health bill offers serious solutions

" This bill should die ASAP I'm a U.S. citizen living in Canada and the socialized medicine here is very different from what we as Americans are used to. When the government gets involved, it's not good. You can't call a specialist if you want one. Do you want to see a dermatologist? You have to go to your family physician first --- if you can find one! Not all doctors take new patients! Your family doctor will then get you a referral to a specialist. That can take months. You have no control as to WHEN you can see the specialist. The specialist will call you WHEN HE/SHE is available to see you. This is not what we should do to the U.S. system. Individual free choice is not an option under the Canadian system. I know because for 9 years I have lived under this system. This proposed healthcare bill sounds much too similar to what we have in Canada. It's not what you should be wanting as Americans. "

" The bill does offer serious solutions to research, medicare, freedom of choice, the budget, and the credibility of the entire congress. It destroys all of them. "
