If true that will quickly bring down health care costs.



Weather we are THE wealthiest or just one of the wealthiests that accounts for a lot of the costs. But when I posted that I am pretty sure that the stats proved that we had the most disposable income of any single country in the world.




I would agree that inefficiency must be a factor too. There are tons of factors. One thing that I strongly believe is that whatever we change if congress does not change too then we can never improve.





No the comparison is to Europe and it is not a comparison of standard of living but of the standard of living of our poor to the standard of living to their middle class. It stands as true - our poor live better than their middle class.

The right to speak your mind to your representatives or to have an agent speak for you is, well, a right. You can't get the lobbyists out of gov. But we can expect our politicians to make rules based on what is good for the country and not based on how much money will be given to them from a particular lobby. Then as soon as the lobbyists realize that they get no special treatment there will be a whole lot less of them.


Anyone should b allowed to donate to anyone. But the congressman should not be allowed to show favoritism.
