Up until now I have been extensively covering the conservative point of view on socialized medicine which is adamantly opposed to it. Now I would like to switch gears so that you have an idea of what the pro-reform arguments are. According to an article that I read recently from the Los Vegas Sun by Cynthi Shiroky all of the problems that the right wing associates with government run health care (rationing care, costing more, coming between patient and doctor, limiting access and treatments, denying or delaying care, and being socialistic) are all problems with the current system, excluding the socialist part. Additionally, the aforementioned problems are false pretenses about the proposed reform which claims to be non-profit, cheap, and efficient. I believe that the biggest pro to this reform is that it would not allow people to have their coverage dropped because of a preexisting or a recently contracted illness. If all these things can be promised and work out as its supporters claim then maybe socialized medicine is the way to go. Sure we would have an increase in taxes but in my opinion there is no exchange rate between dollars and lives.
