Lawrence , I SOMEWHAT agree. Here is an example of what I think is wrong. I have a Very Good freind who has to have a shot in his EYEBALL every month for 12 months then no shot for 4 months then 12 more. These shots cost $4500.00 EACH. My Freind is on Medicare. He ask his doctor one day if the shot would help more people. Doc said yes but some can't afford it. He then ask "What do the people do who need it but can't afford it" The Doctor responded," They go Blind". Now this is just me, But, I would have BLOWN A GASKET right on the spot. That just doesn't sit right with me and I personally think it SUCKS. TRUST ME, I AM NOT for Obama Bin Laden or ANYTHING he stands for (Unless you count the Good ole USA, but I dont think he stands for that.) All in All I guess I should have said, IF we are ALL are going to be given heath care it should be the SAME for Everyone. The way this Country is right now just SUCKS. There are Idiots in Prison who Committed REALLY BAD Crimes. And they get better healthcare than most of US, AND WE PAY FOR IT !. And you are also right about the Fact that workers like RIG WELDERS who make a ton of money SHOULD be smart enough to put some away for Health Care. But as we all know, about 25% of them are broke on Monday morning after a weekend at the Bar. I'm not sure how to fix that one yet. Anyway, You need to understand this, IF Obama Bin Laden gets his way then there will soon be NO private Insurance for Healthcare. The Insurance companies will not be able to stay in Buiss. They will lose 50% of their Customer base. Then it will only matter as to WHO can pay the Doctor the most Money out of their pocket
