On the healthcare issue....you say the other Countries system works fine?? Really?? A person waits on a "board" to decide whether the Patient is "worth" spending the money on them for treatment. THAT is not good healthcare. THAT is a society run by a Gov't board deciding who lives and who dies. When did it become MY resposibility to make sure the other folks in this Country (including illegals) get medical care? It is NOT my responsibility. If you can't afford health care than you need to change jobs to an employer that has some or better benefits or take a second job to pay for your own. I did. That is one of the large problems in this Country. Everyone thinks he/she has a "right" to EVERYTHING. Boo Hoo That is NOT how this Country was founded but that is certainly will be the death of it.
