in any way agreeing with our current situation! I most certainly am not!

Of course, you make animportant point about cost savings by spreading the cost among the entire population. It is the insurance industry that is driving this whole "socialized medicine" thing. I don't think even doctors are doing that anymore. We have the example of Europe, particularly France which the World Health Oranization cited as having the best health care system IN THE WORLD!

This is a miserable situation in our country for everyone. I am just praying that a Dem in the WH will get universal health care done and we don't have to worry about it anymore.

BTW, I have a grandson with sensory integration disorder and he needs the SCHIP program in California to pay for his therapy as my daughter is not working and her husband is a musician. Earlier, he had been turned down because he needed glasses! To say I'm mad as hell at what Bush did with his veto is putting it mildly!
