The Introspective Geek

I've heard good things and bad things about the health care system in Britain from friends I have over there. And I've had good things and bad things happen through the health care system here. I don't know which is better or which is worse. But I do know that there's no such thing as free. Somewhere at some point along the line a price is paid by someone. Even with free promotional coupons a price is paid in the loss of current profit, but its seen as a way to possibly increase future profit. And while the new system may be cheap, which considering my budget would be nice, that doesn't mean it will be better. It doesn't mean it will be worse either. I had an expensive little tote for my knitting, but the 50 cent curtain bag I picked up works better. Then again I bought a kiln for 200 and it died after one use and now I have to save up for a more expensive one. I'll wait and see what this price is, both the monetary one and the non-monetary one, and then I'll have an actual opinion one way or the other.
