Jon,

I gave an example of how I am being ripped off. Now let me give an
example of "Life in the Good Ole US of A" I just had my Flu Shot
Thursday, at my doctor's office, free of charge because of my age and
the drugs I take, which are immune suppressants including Mestinon. Your
government has given us top priority. That government Admin. by
G.W.Bush.

Nice example. Glad you got your shot. Unfortunately, there are lots of
people in your situation that may not be able to get one free or
otherwise. Bush failed to think ahead (nothing new), and as a result,
some seniors have to wait in long lines. One woman died in line.

We spend something like 15% of GDP on healthcare in the US, but we
don't cover 41 million. Bush's "plan" would decrease that number by
about 2.5 million. Kerry's plan would decrease that number by about 27
million (not enough, but good progress). While Kerry's plan isn't
cheap, it would cover ALL children. I think that's the least we can do
for our citizens.
