We can spend Billions for African healthcare and then we expect impoverished American senior citizens to go without medicine (they can't afford it either)? What makes me mad is that I can't afford for my family a better health plan than an HMO. I would be able to get a better plan if 14% of my pay (don't forget what the employer pays that I would have been paid otherwise) wasn't stolen and redistributed to retirees. And those retirees are complaining that they don't want to have to go to an HMO. They'll have a choice. But because they're leeching enough of my income, my family and I won't.

This post #8 is a graphic illustration of what happens when government gets involved in "managing" a country. Even a little socialism creates unfairness, because it takes from workers and gives to slackers. President Bush's plan for privatizing social security would go a long way toward solving the problems of the system. However, don't hold your breath.
