citizens health care isn't just as important... The delivery of health care is really blocked unless one showes ability to pay.... Still after decades of discussing this issue. And in this discussion it's the gouging of American's compliments of the insurance agencies that is obvious....

Some people want charts, and numbers to prove this.... But just knowing people in Norway don't have to spend life savings to get treatment for cancer, but only a few hundred dollars, for full treatment, drives home the point that Americans are being asked to subsidize another agenda other than health care....
