I don't want to hit you..besides I can't reach you..:)
But I think you are DEAD wrong abou the MYTH thing. There
was once a time where people could and would get medical
attention for free or for less back in the day. But now things are
steadily moving in the other direction. Take me for instance
eand my anti rejection drugs needed to keep my new kidney
functioning. I have asked the so called finactial advisor a
simple question. "What if I loose my job....What then" Sppon old
buddy they have NO answer. The only thing they point to is my
family....drane them dry or take them down with you is the
common answer. (something I will NOT do...that is NOT an
option for me. It is insulting!)

When I brng the same question up with my personal doctor
about this very same question. The first thing she asks me is
"Why don't you get married?" So that I could have a wife to share
the burden...I kid you NOT.

So are you saying since our assets technically in theory out
pacee what we owe we do not owe? I'm not sure I get that. If I
have a multi million dollar home and I have a hundred thousand
dollars of debt. If I do not pay off tha tdebt I must sell
something and if the home is all that I own I can rob peter to pay
paul I suppose but the selling off our our nation does not seem
well that good of an idea. Besides with with the INCRASE of the
debt ceiling to an additional 800 BILLION OUCH! and the
continued talk about lowering taxes at the same time....I tend to
wonder who is running the bank here?

The simple question is IF wwe have the money...they why don't
we pay it, and "IF" we do not have the money why are we
spending it?

And hte follow up question is just who is going to pay for it in
the end?

Why in the name of everything that is HOLY and much that is
NOT do we have to import cheap drugs into this country!?! Don't
the drugs come from us in the fist place and shipped to those
countries that get them for less...In many cases far less than us?
Since the entire world represents a huge population compared to
America then it falls to reason that the drug companies can NOT
be selling tthere drugs over seas at a loss, but just taking less of
a profit from these sales. IF not and they are selling at a loss
then they would go bankrupt and I know they are NOT dooing
that. So this so called Bush sollution is a band aide at best and
foolishness at worst. Also since there are legal road blocks in
terms of the FDA and such I think GW will keep having these
lame ideas that do little or nothind and one of his other people
will take the hit for him and say "Hey like it or not it's
illegal..sorry" So GW gets his 15 mins of "Hey I tried" and then
NOTHING changes.
