From: [log in to unmask] (Robert Fink) Subject: Fwd: Re: More on pallidotomy Dear Barbara: I agree with everything you have said. Please note my (long) post to the List today, this a review of literature on pallidotomy and my comments. As to the economics of medicine, we are in danger of having our system dismantled in the name of "cost control" (which is needed, but which should *not* be "managed" by the insurance companies). People who sometimes object to Government running the "show" (as in the proposed "Single-Payer Initiative" here in California) protest that creating a "Health Commissioner" places a lot of power into that person's hands. They are correct; but that commissioner is *elected* and thus, is responsive to the voters; how many CEO's of insurance companies are responsive to the policyholders?
