Well it actually IS on the subject since the subject was health care. You would be amazed (and probably surprised) at the level of scorn and mocking that is directed at the American health system from virtually anywhere in the first world. Health care is a basic right given to all, well at least in MOST first-world countries it is. And many posters have in previous threads made significant comment on those who 'dont deserve' health care. You have built an economy based on some fine principles, but the flip side of that has brought you near depression and a level of debt and financial disaster that is unparalleled. Good lessons there to be learned and apparently very few of them have been. It seems a uniquely American attitude to strive for the best - for me and mine. It works - and works well - until you fail. And then you end up with no welfare, no food, no health care and no hope. And all of this is brought to you by the nation with more billionaires than the rest of the planet combined. Your health debate is actually about FAR MORE than health. It is a litmus test on your national character. It describes who you are and what your true national priorities are. And apparently the poor aren't one of them. By supporting your poor - undeserving tho they may be - in real and genuine ways you may discover a hidden resource in your nation: compassion.

There is nothing about "deserving it" in any of the debate. It is about the waste involved and the 1000s of pages of rules that no one understands. Also about illegals coming in the U.S. to get free care and busting the budgets of many cities. ----- Original Message ----- From: "geoff" <[email protected]> To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 5:15 PM Subject: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health Bill > It is quite amusing for us out here watching the so-called 'land of the > free' and 'bastion of democracy' show that its 'light on the hill' is > slowly > going out.
