Ed,


"I am sorry that you bought into the fellow travelers idea that compulsory
purchase contracts by a government agency is the same as collective
bargaining.  In the compulsory contracts for pharmaceuticals there just
might be unintended consequences."

Where did you ever get that idea?  That is the antithesis of my thought
process. I believe there are damn few things that the government can do
better than the private sector.  We're going to get some form of "national"
healthcare regardless of which party takes power.  The country is in the
mood. I think most of the electorate is  ignorant of history,  economics,
and politics, but that's just the mean-spirited, selfish,  and reality-based
side of me coming out.

BTW, I was the  guest of a government Kuhuna last week (sent his driver for
us in a brand-new Audi) for tea (actually I drank free communist beer).
Life is good if you're in control.  The difference is, in this country, I
can complain about the quality of the government provided "free" beer.

We have the farthest left candidate nominated for President in the history
of the nation.  He's being propped-up by the MSM which is pretty far left
themselves.  I hope everyone has their eyes open.  I have my exit plan.  Do
you?

Brad
