    UN list is irrelevant. And it looks like you'd advocate for free homes, free clothes at the clothing store, free food at the grocery store, etc., for everyone, too.

    And the cost of health care is 17x what the cost of the Iraq War was. We didn't spend in all the years we were in Iraq what we spend in one year on health care.

Will kill you for speaking your mind..The UN has been a failure for the most part. Concieved with the greatest of intentions, mankind is just not ready to carry through with the ideals.

    Not true if you simply remove the unnecessary health insurance industry from the equation, and reduce the pay and profit margin to levels similar to other countries (most of which have better healthcare than the US).

    Socialized healthcare is what smart countries have.

    I'm beginning to think Romney will win the overall vote and lose the electoral college. If so, hopefully people can stop bitching about Al Gore.

    I believe it will exceed it, for the Dems anyway.

    who knows what those kwazy republicans will do?

    Interestingly, I was reading this article on realclearpolitics about whether JFK really won the 1960 popular vote. I guess the writer is trying to make the case that Romney may win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote - if that happens, so be it, the electoral college is what we rightly have. So the first sentence in the article is:

    "Right now the RCP Averages are showing an odd situation. Mitt Romney leads nationally by one point, but trails in the Electoral College by a 294-244 count. "

    I click on the 294-244 count (it's a link) only to find that since the article was written, RCP has moved Virginia from Obama's to Romney's column and their EV count is currently 281-257.

    That's with no leaners. A .1% advantage for a candidate gets him that state.

    Consider if Ohio flips to Romney's column, it's a lead for Romney in the Electoral Vote. Or a combination of states like New Hampshire (Obama +.8) and Wisconsin (Obama +2.8).

    I would point out that early voting is so early this year that a lot of people voted before the first debate, when Obama looked like a shoo-in.

    I would if a major portion of our country was left homeless, naked and hungry. Which is the equivalent of what is happening in our health care industry.

    I disagree that's what is happening in our health care industry. Do not confuse health care insurance with health care delivery. All the health care that is needed is delivered.

    There are more people outright homeless, and even more people unemployed, than those who don't get health care. And those who don't get health care refuse to go out and get it.

    This article describes how a fellow went without insurance but got health care, and how he got it for a low cost.

    http://thebillfold.com/2012/06/how-to-get-health-care-while-uninsured/

    It seems to me there's absolutely no compelling interest for the govt. to mandate a transfer of wealth from our wallets to the insurance companies. If the Ryan-NENA clinic is overbooked, there IS a case to be made to build another clinic or expand the existing one.
