(9,426 posts)3. Best healthcare in the world, asccording to the entitled
politicians in D.C. Bullsh*t. Donations from the healthcare professionals, insurance companies are keeping us from REAL healthcare reform. Every other westernized country has decent healthcare, except this country. Why? Greedy politicians, that is why. A national healthcare plan would make a tremendous difference to this country. Employers would not have to concern themselves with covering their employees (or not). People could change jobs with no worries about healthcare.

Look WHAT we have in the WH, screwing up the 4th of July right now.
