I have no health insurance and have had no medical care for more than 3
years while undergoing chronic pain. However, I'm still in favor of
private insurance and medical care. I would hate to see this country go
socialistic to the level of Europe, Great Britain, and Sweden. If we do
we will be paying as much for gas as they are, much higher income tax
rates, and with much higher hidden taxes than we have now.
If we do go socialistic this nation will have abandoned what made it
great. I hope you do notice that the further we move toward socialism
the more our country has declined in both moral fiber and in respect by
the rest of the world. We became great because anyone had a chance to
work and make it on their own, not by promising everyone that the state
would run every aspect of their lives. In fact, immigrants came here
because they state didn't interfere with their lives.
