Somewhere, someone is blaming this on Obama's healthcare proposals.

One current affairs programme suggested that the US already spends twice the
% of GDP on healthcare as the UK, so the US could have centralised
healthcare twice as good as the NHS without any increase in taxation - all
they have to do is tip a few greedy *******s off the gravy train.


Typically vague. Who are these "greedy *******s"?


The illegal aliens and Europeans who come here for treatment instead
of waiting while their 'National Health Care' lets them die?

OK. Just checking. However I would hesitate to block Europeans or
Canadians, except for elective surgeries. Reciprocity, if I get ill
in Europe or Canada, I'd be taken care of.

As for illegal aliens... no emergency room service _except_ for true
emergencies, then ship 'em back.

Also do away with "dropping a citizen"(*)... require "citizens" to be
born of citizens or naturalized.

(*) In Yuma there are more Mexicans in the maternity wards than US
citizens.

Obama clearly blames insurance companies for his mother's death
from cancer. One then has to wonder if this whole health bill
isn't a personal vendetta against private insurance companies?
