Ms. Rodriguez would have voted no on government health care

This past May, the tragic death of Edith Isabel Rodriguez, only 43, should have made Americans question about wanting any more government involvement in health care. She died while emergency room staff walked past her; the janitor even cleaned around her as she spit up blood on the floor!

This tragic incident, plus the terrible conditions reported at Walter Reed Hospital, an army hospital, makes me wonder how anyone could call for more of the same. Government run hospitals, whether in the inner cities or at army bases, can't provide the quality health care needed because of the lack of a market. No market, no competition, therefore no incentive.

Let's get back to a market in health care. The market pleases us with great cars, computers, houses, food, clothes, etc. The market will do the same in health care.
