Perhaps you could state your point a little more succinctly.


What I am suggesting is that very wealthy foreigners come here for
health care because the best we have to offer is skewed towards those
with endless amounts of money. At the same time, tens of millions of
Americans get ****ty health care because they don't have the amount of
money our system requires to pay for it. Wealthy foreigners head to
other countries, too, where quality care is available, but that
availability is also there for ordinary citizens, too.

Unfortunately that is the care everyone wants with this health care
plan. They all want an MRI for a hangnail and expect a referral to a
specialist. That is why our insurance rates are so high. Add to that a
run away drug culture that thinks you haven't really been to the
doctor unless you have 2 or 3 prescriptions and it becomes apparent
why we spend $8k a year.
I am the only person my age I know who is not taking a handful of
pills every day. The retail price is usually up in 3 figures a month
... but they are on a drug plan so it is invisible to them.
Why eat right and exercise, The Lipitor and Prinivil will fix it.



I take a multivitamin and a low dose aspirin every day. My daily "drug"
habit runs about 25 cents, I'd guess. Even generic vitamins ain't cheap.


You are wasting your money on the multivitamin.



My dick has grown from 7" to 9.25" since starting the vitamin regimen.
