Government Run Health Care

I was just at Kaiser the other day, picking up some RX from the pharmacy. There were 25 people in line waiting for their RX's. It occurred to me that this is the paradigm for the Government Health care System being proposed - Weeks to get an appointment; waiting hours when you get there for an appointment; Long lines for prescription drugs. Semi incompetent doctors; Your a number in the system.
The big differences would be in the management. Instead of having competent people (debatable) in a slumberous, muddled system, we will have incompetents running the system. Witness any government run entity.
I'm positive there are some competent people in government, but overrun by the non competent.
But Hey!...... We will have universal health care won't we? Think about it.
I am old enough to remember when doctors made house calls. Perhaps we should examine the medical profession itself.
