Guys, I almost never forward things like this and NEVER to my entire address book. This is different. The USA profit-driven healthcare provides most of the latest medical solutions that all the social medicine systems use. The difference is they also add long waits. We don't. What happens when the great engine of medical advancement is stifled by a government takeover? I wont demonize our president, Pelosi, Frank, or any of their ilk. Just watch the video, and think about what FREE ENTERPRISE has done to move us forward, and what will happen without it. Half a million have already seen the John Stossel investigative TV report below. lets make it everyone. The PROBLEM with Free Enterprise Health Care, a sometimes wonderful thing, is that it works only for those who can afford to pay for it. The MOTIVATION for free enterpise health care is profit. We've been fortunate that any innovation at all comes from it AFTER the Chem companies and providers have settled into a comfy, profitable position. As a paradox, the profit motive limits further investment, as the funds for research must come from profit. All Govt "health care" wants to do is to find a means to cover those who can't otherwise get coverage or afford to pay for it. If the Republicans truly WANTED to do something good for the country, they'd develop a plan that would be accepted by both sides, but of course, as they represent the existing health care industry (big chem cos, insurance cos, etc), they won't lift a finger to change the status quo; they just complain about the Democrats' efforts. I'm presently the oldest member of my family...EVER, and I'm only 57. The reason? None of my family line ever had health care. Everyone that went before me died from the LACK of health care. Only myself, at varying times, since I did not follow the tradition of working in construction or jobs where employers didn't offer health care, have lived this long. The AVERAGE income earner must struggle to pay for health care. It is only the upper middle class and above that can afford the premiums. The first priority is housing, a HUGE expense, the food, and then, after the car payments and clothes, comes education and then health care. There simply is not enough money in the average family income to cover everything. THIS is what a domestic-thinking Congress should address... Instead, everything that affects people on a daily basis gets pushed aside. If we have money to fund wars, we should have money to save lives. Congress should stop arguing about health care and do something about it. If Congress had to operate like a business, it would find an acceptable, workable solution to the problem NOW. Jerry aka LGO
