AmVet...Oh, and until 1Jan'04, TN did NOT have an absolute requirement for automobile insurance...

That's the biggest problem I have with HMO'S is how they have a paper pusher telling a doctor what he/she can or cannot do..tell me exactly how socialized medicine would be different?

I think there should be nobody who is not a MORE QUALIFIED MD telling a doc what the fug to do, personally, whether the practice is private, HMO, or govt. sponsored.

and TN didn't have an insurance requirement until then???? man..this is where again I go all fedaralist and think some things like 'liability insurance' if they have to exist and be mandated should be nationwide and 'pay as you go'...or not at all.

Is it as bad as what happens to the uninsured over here, who fail to seek treatment?

Wasn't avoiding you - Wifey had my complete, undivided attention for some three + hours..
