I really don't know what the answers are to the heath care of the nation are, There are too many cares of the world right now for me to be following it. But I do know though that eventually I will be effected by it. If past observations of my parents are any indication of where we are headed, then it will be a no brainer that even if I haven't given it much thought I will be force to give it some thought in the very near future. For even though I've mentioned my dad's pension which is really out of the subject matter, I hadn't mention that his whole pension was going for health care for taking early retirement and for paying for health care for mom. But now that she has reached the age of 62, things haven't changed much for all of his pension plus some is still going to pay for what Medicare, or what ever the old age insurance is, isn't covering.
Interesting home page, I spent one year in the Omaha area while stationed at Offutt AFB, would of stayed in that area after I got out except it's just too damn cold in Nebraska, and I was raised in Michigan, eventually I moved to Tennessee, a little bit warmer, and am now thinking of even moving further south if the opportunity prevails itself.
I had a friend who refused to work but complained that she didn't have health care until she was 65. Fortunately, she didn't get sick. Are you interested in paying for someone who is able and 35 who chooses not to work? I don't think so. Our safety net should be for those who lose life's lottery and cannot fend for themselves, not those who try to game the system.
