But at what price do those tradeoffs come? You know when I don't believe someone? When they tell me all the good stuff but none of the bad. That is the hallmark of a used car salesman. Car gets excellent mileage, great shape, good engine, gently used, easy payments, etc, etc. A good thing you have going is that you don't have too many illegals sucking up resources, do you? The rest of the states have that issue because we are too stupid to turn away those that cannot afford it which leads them to the ER and it gets clogged up. Sorry, if you insist on throwing stuff down the toilet that wasn't meant to be there, you have to accept that it clogs up here and there.
As I always ask, who would manage the system if the govt runs it? The same group that gives us the national debt? Or the shady accounting practices of transferring money from one pool to another? Govt is acceptable as a watcher. As a player in the game, not so good.
