Socialist Health Plan? In Norway, Obama's Plan Not Even Close | CommonDreams.org: "If Michael Steele and the Republicans really believe that President Obama is proposing a socialist health plan, they need to get out more.

I've just returned from a research trip to Norway, where their universal health system really is socialist. It's also much less expensive than the current U.S. system, so maybe the Republicans would like it if they checked it out. The non-socialists in Norway support it because it works so well, especially compared with 'the bad old days' of private medicine, when even the doctors' association advocated for socialized medicine as the only affordable way to make quality care available to all Norwegians."
