Listen, my only sister died of ovarian cancer, but that has NO business in the Pentagon budget.
I believe Bush could win if he'd swear to clean out the whole damn town.

The only way in which that can be done is through confiscatory tax increases.
They already TAKE our money. Unless you're planning on overthrowing the government some time soon, all I'm saying is that they can use the money they ALREADY have to take care of the people in this country.
In the meantime, try to live in the real world.

Well, I can't agree with you on all of that. My sister was able to get into a program at NIH and I'm positive that it gave us three good years with her, when she had been told she had less than six months to live.
There is graft and corruption everywhere. But I, for one, believe that the one thing this country can and should do is provide GOOD health care for us -- all of us.

Why is it that when somebody disagrees with you, people like you always resort to accusing the poster of being a Democrat?
It's not very orignial and it just shows the vacuousness of your argument.
By all means, keep paying your own medical bills in cash, don't let them "trick" you into preparing for the future.
Just remember that when your bill gets too high, or you get really sick, the government is going to take your house and put you in a nursing home of their choice.
I, on the other hand, will have taken advantage of government medical testing and will be healthy, probably living at some wonderful retirement home which I planned for by BUYING INSURANCE.
Are you just too dense to realize that there ARE some things that the government should do?
