Re: I was no longer able to go to the county fair. (none / 0)

I still find the claims that this will lead to national health insurance wildly optimistic. Still hope springs eternal and there is no reason why I have to make up my mind before those changes are actually here.

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.

Don't forget Medicare for old people, Disabled Benefits SSI, Medicaid for poor and children, and emergency rooms, County clinics, veteran's benefits. The pressure is on to consolidate medical records electronically, and fold the whole mess into Single Payer.

This is the wish of the vast majority in the US, and only the lies of corporate entities like Big Pharma and Insurance keep it from being fulfilled.

I think the Occupy and Tea Party are scaring the Congress. They might throw us a bone.

Align culture with our nature.
