"Those who claim there are 50 million Americans without health care clearly do not understand the subject upon which they are corresponding. I generally do not care to correspond with those who prefer to remain ignorant." Perhaps you would better address that comment to someone else. When you gratuitously address it to me it makes it appear to the casual reader that I had taken such a stance. To leave such an impression is unfair at the very least. "Another additive to our medical costs are the free loaders from other countries that fail to pay a fair share of the research and development costs for new drugs." What does that mean? I've been in Puerto Rico where your drug heroes hold huge conventions to celebrate the fact that they don't pay any taxes. You think your drug industry is adding to your medical costs? What a thought? You want ME to pay for some research and development? Why don't YOU pay for it?? I pay for the drugs I purchase just the same as you do. I don't set the price; I PAY the G-d damn price. They can raise the price if they want. It is none of my bloody business.
