The people on the top do try to stay there with all their might. I've often wondered how difficult it is to get into Canada as a citizen. You probably have to have something to offer them, to begin with. Like a degree in engineering or something. They probably wouldn't let me in.NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466126254034203883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266670669659028301.post-35931385373864972832010-08-15T10:28:09.657-07:002010-08-15T10:28:09.657-07:00I can't even imagine not having government hea...I can't even imagine not having government health care. Our system is not great right now because they messed with it too much trying to make it "free". It can't be free. They need to fund it. But the premiums were/are very reasonable - in fact, I think they should charge a little more so we get better care again. We don't run to the doctor a lot but with my husband's heart, both sons needing tubes in their ears, and the one being repeatedly hospitalized for asthma, and now with my neck problems, we would be in serious trouble without our plan. It sounds like Vermont runs a similar system to ours right now. I think there's just a lot of hardcore conservatism in the USA that keeps people with money on top with all the power. God forbid anyone on a lower rung gets a leg up. So much for the land of opportunity.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
