So, you're admitting you're wrong... no problem!

Jon,
Like I said, you can argue until you're blue in the face...about all it
will get you is a certain level of asphyxia....

The residents medical needs are met by Medicare but their room and board
is not....and no, I'm not against vaccination when it makes sense.
Influenza is a dangerous disease..to some. To you. You certainly need
a flu shot.

Most people would benefit from the vaccination. Check the CDC. Up until
this
fiasco, that's what they've been recommending.

It is not like the vaccines made for other diseases...it has to be
re-configured a guess every year and is not a broad spectrum vaccine.
The reasons why there were flu epidemics in the past are mostly gone in
this country.

They are reconfigured. It's more than a guess and less than a certainty.

You do not know that for a fact. It's a guess and not a very good one.

Get your facts straight.

We do not have wide-scale starvation (malnutrition is not starvation...it
means you are not eating correctly..not eating at all...),

We do have situations of starvation, but it isn't wide-scale. What's your
point?

we have adequate sanitation, and a better understanding of how viri are
caught. Handwashing, self quarantine when infected, and use of masks
are far better options to choose than the needle...for the healthy.

No. They're one of many things that help prevent getting or spreading the
virus.

And as far as the government being involved in health care goes...I
believe there should be research and development and there should be a
regulatory agency but I do not believe the government should be the
administrator of or the provider of health care services except to
assistance programs.

No one does. The point is that Bush's administration DID NOTHING.

Katie,

I hope you're not saying, " no more Polio, TB, scarlet fever, small
pox,etc shots" I like the Federal Gov to be involved in our health
care.

Does your Health Care Center take Medicare Payments?
