Steven, what's dangerous is we have people who believe black and white answers of the Hillary variety are possible and should be placed into law. You can't legislate behavior any more than you can legislate morality. There will always be some people who abuse their health and not seek medical attention when they should, no matter what kind of system is in place. I have a couple of questions related to our previous conversation... Would you ever consider moving your family to Cuba? And if not why? Do you believe a communist state is of moral equality than America? In other words, is it better or worse to grow up and live in a free society? Or, are you a moral relativists in regard to the issue? The reason I'm asking is I was surprised to hear a Democratic congressman (David Bonior) answer that he would send Elian Gonzales back to Nazi Germany if given the same scenario. Michael p.s. Tomorrow is confederate flag day in Arkansas. I wonder if Bill Clinton is going to join in the celebration?

Steven, I have been told that legislation for better health care is in the works but, can not attest to it. Most, if not all, of the illegal aliens are being treated in the County Hospital Districts, if they apply for "gold cards" which are easy to get for people below, or near, the poverty level. These are teaching hospital which provide excellent care. Those doctors on "fellowship" are divided in groups of 5 or 6, and are lead by a competent doctor, who must meet certain requirements. Depending on needs, this treatment can be absolutely free to the patient. In Houston, there are 2 very large hospitals and 6 or 7 outlying clinics to serve these people, and other needy who cannot obtain private health care insurance, for whatever reason. I know a 40 year old man with aids that receives excellent treatment and has survived over 13 years, much longer than the norm, and is still in such health that no one would suspect his disease, although he makes no effort to conceal it. Before Bush was Ann Richards. There is no telling what all went on under her "nonexistant" leadership. In Texas, we have areas like the Piney Woods, the Big Thicket, and a town named Cut and Shoot. The inhabitants of these areas are similar to the hillbillies of the eastern mountains and either do not know, or do not care, about any sort of birth control. This is a problem that only education can ultimately solve, or at least, minimize. ~H!~
