Comments from a friend of mine who used to live here and now lives in Brazil...
"We are no without our share of government scabs. However, we do have a great government health plan that works well enough that it gave me a $60,000 heart operation after the hospital turned their nose up at the insurance company that Cat stuck us with. The health plan has its flaws but the fact that I can write this kind of puts me on the side of a goverment run health care plan. BTW, people that want next day service buy their own insurance."

As I said in my first comment... It doesn't matter what our opinion is. For crying out loud... do some research. If you disagree, find something to back it up. Maybe we can all learn something here... but not just with an opinion.
But like I said... I'm just a dumb blond... what do I know????
