My esteemed foe,
   The figures i quoted were from my wife's experience with the British 
system of health care.  The problems with the Canada were quoted in an 
article in Reader's Digest. (please forgive me but i cannot remember the 
date of the article.)  
   Another recent article, from either January or February, in Reader's 
Digest shows how long people have to wait in order to have certain 
surguries performed.  Corobary bypass waiting was about eight weeks !
   I have seen the V.A. hospitals and dealt with them first hand.  They 
are really Death Houses.  The quality of care in those facilities is worse 
than any third world nation.  I am a veteran myself and have given 
instructions to my loved ones to never admit me to a V.A. Hospital.
   I, for one, do not want my health left in the hands of some 
disinterested politician in Washington.  They will "fine-tune" it, and me 
right out of existence.

As always, your comments are welcome.
