"Anyhow Scruffy- I believe that you believe that you're ideal system is right for the people of your country and I disagree, but have the same intentions. You trust private companies and doctors and I tend to trust my elected government to serve as a watchdog over greed. Different perspectives, same motives... but I'm sure if we had a year together we could at least find a compromise we could both vote for... which is already better than the dog and pony show we just watched."

With all respect my friend, I think you are right here. I want health care reform. I hate this bill. It is not what was advertised re. the benefits, but the details of the bill that are simply astounding and abhorrent. If all they really wanted was reform, the bill would have been 300 pages not 3,000. What isn't talked about is the hidden, ugly grab for power at the expense of individual freedom. That is what sticks in my craw.

I am glad that you and your countrymen have good health care with out the socialistic trappings. Perhaps when we have a civilian militia instead of an opressive central government we will enjoy the same ballance.

Have a good day!

Jack
