I disagree with the 2 tier system. I think everybody should have the opportunity to get the best health care regardless whether they can afford to pay or not. The other point about only having to pay the $5.00 if you see your family doctor not the specialist. Do you realize every time you want to see a specialist you have to see your family doctor first? It is not good enough to phone your family doctor and ask for a referral you actually have to go and see him. Right now all you are loosing is your time to go and see him, but if your idea goes through then you are also loosing $5.00. Now if you also have kids that means you have to hire a babysitter, and that can be quite a sum especially if you have to wait at the doctors. If you work, and your doctor doesn't have office hour in the evening, you have to take time off from work and that cost money too. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!223!Julie.More Internet: Julie.More@f223.n163.z1.fidonet.org
