I did not mention in my post that I now teach Medical Laboratory Technology students at our local community college and have been for the past 25 years. My co-worker has only been here for about a year, but she worked for 12 years in Vermont prior to coming to NC. Although a good Catholic girl, she is a little more liberal than I am since she grew up in Vermont, but she does not look at national health care through rose-colored glasses. I heard her mention the health care debate during one of her recent lectures. She said that it is a complex problem and that it needs a lot of thought. She said she can vouch for the fact that Canadians cross the border ALL THE TIME to get medical care in Vermont that is not available to them in Canada.
