Healthcare deserves its own thread

Tex-

How will you feel in 2009 when Barrack Obama has the power to listen in on any phone calls he wants without a warrant?

LOL

Three things about that:

First, I'm confident the American people will not allow an Obama presidency.

Second, I don't have anything to hide. Anybody that wants to get bored to death listening to my phone calls, etc. is welcome to.

Third and most important, you are mis-characterizing the whole situation. The monitoring is ONLY COMMUNICATIONS TO AND FROM KNOWN TERRORIST SOURCES, AND ONLY THEN IF THAT TERRORIST SOURCE IS OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY. i don't recall the last time I talked to any of them. How about you?

How did this get in the health care thread?

Interesting article, she is apalled that americans have to wait or pay on their own, yet she had to pay for the drug she needed on her own while the HSA dragged their feet in approving it.

Again, this article is the crux of my arguement against nationalized care. We propped up their system by our free market creating a drug and eventually making it cheap enough for them to use. I like innovation. Its good.

edit: One more thing, life expectancy is in no way a good measure of the effectiveness of health care. So many things contribute to that.
