The United States has a private medical system and a military that must report to civilian commanders. In other words, a public military.
Bush said today "Politicians in Washington shouldn't tell generals how to do their job"
and in terms of medicine:
The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last week that outlawed a certain abortion procedure could be a first step of greater government intrusion into private medical decisions, doctors said on Monday.
How's that for logical consistency? Actually not surprising as the military is being privatized and every politician calls for some way for health care to be socialized.
