[Publib] 1st Amendment Rights

[Victoria Kemp]

I, on the other hand, have nothing but good things to say about British
health care. Granted I never had a major health problem, but during the
time I lived in England I got free glasses and when I fell off a curb in
the middle of winter, I was taken to a hospital in downtown London,
X-rayed, and taped up without paying one cent. I did not have to wait an
exorbitant amount of time. In my emergency room at the local hospital,
it would have cost me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for the
same thing. It certainly did when I had to have an endoscopy for an
esophageal obstruction. Medicare is the single most efficient health
care delivery system in the world so there is already a useful model in
existence. We must agree to disagree on this subject.	
FWIW

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Amen.

Socialized health care is hell. I know so many in Britain who've waited
literal months to get in for simple MRIs. Right now most of us here
could get in tomorrow. I have a friend with a septic wound who waited
months for antibiotics. She was in agonizing pain, but no matter to the
British government. And it goes on and on. People die waiting for health
care under socialism.

We don't even take care of our veterans here. Their conditions are also
hellish. How can a government who sells trillions of dollars of our debt
to China even consider government health care? Who'll pay for it? China
already considers us a debt risk. Deficit neutral??? HA! Sure. 

The government is out of control. If nothing else, they need to stop
hurrying bills through. Let our representatives read them. That doesn't
seem too much to ask.

And, most senators are LAWYERS. I don't want to hear the "legalese"
argument.
