No, we were discussing whether or not it is available. People die before their time because it is not available, not because the care is better or worse for those who can get it. You missed the point, as you intended to do, and as those talking against healthcare for all intend to do. It doesn't have to be so expensive. period. and does anyone from another country come here for general care, or for cadillac care??? it is the latter. we are good at the cadillac care thing.

exactly... extend medicaid or medicare, but also bring down costs. there is far too much gross profit for care and for drugs... tho while we pay so much for care, nurses are getting shafted, and we as patients are getting shafted by hospitals understaffing on nurses so that is downright dangerous to have a loved one in the hospital without a loved one nearby. nurses do not like that. they actually take their jobs seriously for the most part.

the money is there, LJ, to extend benefits, and to make it within our means. the numbers do add up, just not to the liking of a few and their shareholders.
