Default The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.

Really? 85% may be insured, but that doesn't mean they are getting along
just fine. I found one poll that suggests health care cost is the
country's biggest worry.

Our health care system accounts for over 15% GDP. Funny, but those
countries with universal health care have costs around 10% GDP, or less.
That 5% puts us at a considerable disadvantage in the global market
place. You may not have noticed, but many companies have. General
Motors, for instance, has been expanding it's operations in Canada, while
shrinking them here. Want to guess the reason?

but the Democrats want to muck things up for them in
order to benefit the 15% who are uninsured. Smells of socialism to me.
And it stinks.

If you want socialism, move to the EU.
