We get what we pay for…
i.e. in other countries, taxes are imposed on sufficiently to spread the benefit of healthcare across the general population. We have reduced taxes on the rich through Bush’s tax revisions – at the expense of social programs that should be benefiting American citizens.

I agree, 37th is bad……I think i could handle like 15th, but shoudlnt’ something be done? I don’t quite understand America’s view on a lot of things. My friend told me today his insurance fought him over a pill and told him to take an OTC so that way he’d be spending about $100/mo instead of them spending it.
Also, what’s with European countries getting a minimum of 5 weeks vacation? Why can’t we be more like France in some ways? Or like Canada and stay out of everyone else’s military business?
Just like I dont’ understand how EVERY single public school around us is losing the funding for arts and gym…….where is all this money going? Someone needs to get in there and attempt to get rid of some of the corruption and poor spending of our govt. Americans need to be less greedy…..once the people up top get to $1 million they’ll hurt whoever is in their way to get $10 million
