Did you mean that post for me or George... you replied to my post but addressed it as George?

> The post was for George. The easiest thing for me to do since George asked me to comment on US health care politics, etc. was to use your answer post to key off and expand from my perspective. The first quote I left was his sentence that you took off from. I think cross conversations are ok. I've just jumped into his discussion with dhw, and he responded. I think your view of US medicine and mine are pretty consistent.

> I'd have made everything more clear if I had credited the quotes with your name - Okay, I was asking because I wouldn't mind asking about our returning soldier issue. My wife has a friend that did come back from Iraq with anger-issues related to PTSD. She was however told that she wasn't a priority because she wasn't suicidal and would have to wait about 6 months before she could see a therapist. Of course, she could lie and say "I'm suicidal," but as you're aware, that becomes permanent medical history. How on earth can this be seen as serving our people properly?
