See SiCKO


You might want to stay through all the credits as there are several interesting written word messages.

One is a suggestion to marry a Canadian to get good medical coverage. Go to Hook-A-Canuck.com. Go here for latest news on SiCKO.

Interesting in the movie watching the British doctor and the French engineer getting by on $100,000 a year and living much better than our $100,000 income families despite being a government doctor or both paying all those taxes to provide universal coverage. They have all that vacation time, their art on the walls, very fine homes, very fine cars, many foreign vacations and no insurance worries. Why come our upper-middle-class can't live like that? Could it be financial insecurity and our paying for a military war machine instead of "socialized" family value programs?

Call your congressman and senators and say you want universal health care now. If they say it is scary socialized medicine say Americans deserve socialized medicine just like we deserve socialized education and police.

Pat asked me what to do to take action. I said one easy thing is to vote for any Democrat running for President except Hillary. All want to gradually go to universal health coverage. Hillary's system is using HMO's and the insurance companies. All Republican candidates oppose socialized medicine, although Romney did help provide near universal coverage in Massachusetts - by requiring everyone no matter how poor to buy insurance.

I won't call Sen. Cornyn. Not only would the old upper-crust reactionary not support universal health care but I have other disagreements with him. I told his staff that I thank Gawd that the people at the Alamo did not say "None of your civil liberties matter much after you’re dead" as the cowardly Senator did. Like the French guardsmen I fart in his general direction! His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries!
