    The most important thing to understand in the article:

    And that's the problem with our health care system, and will remain so even with ObamaCare.

    Those are the least of the problems. Charging different customers different prices is the standard in many industries. It's bad news only to the accountant who has to create the matrix price structure depending upon region and vendor, and input it into inadequate accounting software.

    Truly socialized healthcare completely eliminates this problem. Just another of a myriad of reasons why a free market will never be a fair and adequate way to supply any of life's necessities.

    What we need is socialized real estate brokers. To cut down on the fees you guys earn, let the govt. decide to cut them from 6% (shared) to .6%.

    Have fun making a living.

    Imagine if the U.S. Prudential Military, the U.S. Aetna Military, and the U.S. State Farm Military compete for our dollars.

    Then someone starts a thread, "Military is a Mess."

    Then someone posts that the reason is, that the military is TOO socialized.

    Uh, you got it reversed.
