The fellow who makes my eye glasses is planning to retire to I believe its called Medina in the Yucatan area of Mexico. I have been to Medina and its a very pretty spanish town. anyhow, I asked him about Medical care, he claims for $600 a year you can buy medical coverage that takes care of anything. Now, I dont know what the medical care is in Mexico as to quality, but that sure is a lot cheaper then anything in the states. Years ago in the Philippines I took my maids father to Cebu Doctors Hospital (a very fine hospital similar to something you would find in the states) and had some tests run on him plus a physical checkup. Cost me a total of $10 American. That was in 1983, I am sure its much more today but probably a lot less then anything here. jdn

JohnC, The tragedy is, that as long as people are willing to sell their votes, the politicians will buy them. It's a two way street. Back in the really old days, a man would sell his vote for some drinks of whiskey, which has been banned by law. Now, too many voters are asking what their country can do for them instead of what they can do for their country.
