I just read that 250,000 veterans are homeless and that the USA is the only country who does not provide health care for its citizens in the western world. I read that it is now ranked 39th but spends the most, I feel so depressed. I can’t understand why the people are so reluctant to have this changed and believe all the lies about health care. It is obvious that with so many pharmaceutical ads on TV, all the various channels do nothing to clear the confusion. The greed is palpable.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-72967769029199456002009-08-21T15:43:25.640-07:002009-08-21T15:43:25.640-07:00could you clone yourself and run for Congress - in...could you clone yourself and run for Congress - in every state!? ;)<br /><br />thank you for such an informative post, presented in a calm and rational mannerDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-32344412961468043412009-08-21T12:44:49.384-07:002009-08-21T12:44:49.384-07:00*Miss Dazey - You are welcome and thank you for re...*Miss Dazey - You are welcome and thank you for reciprocating.
