First off, someone up thread said we have a banana republic now… Well, I guess he’s right since W the chimp left everything in shambles. For god’s sake, the new guy has been there nine months and inherited every possible mess you could throw at a new president. Give me a break. Things started going downhill when W stole the 2000 election with the help of the Supremes (not the singing group).

As far as waiting times, my Mom broke her hip in one of the most advanced health care cities in this country and wasn’t seen for EIGHT hours. Eight freakin’ hours. And our system is better how?

The bottom line is that HMOs are making far too much money off of people’s miseries and misfortunes. They are greedy heartless organizations that are only interested in profit first and foremost. Something has to be done about the HMOs. I pay $12K annually out of my own pocket for my family’s health care. And that doesn’t include co-pays, etc. Some guy way upthread said he was taxed to the gills for the socialist health care in Canada. And he even had to pay a whole extra $1600 for what the “socialists” wouldn’t pay for. I’ll bet my bill, including my ridiculous annual taxes, is much, much higher than this whiner’s paltry out-of-pocket sum. Just wait until you don’t have a job, folks. You’re gonna’ change your tune fast when you want some antibiotics but can’t pay for them. Unbelievable.
