No mocking, as you should be able to understand by now. Discussing actual issues. You don't really want to do that, though, do you? You just want to argue. Well then, have a great day! Maybe Newt or Mitch can make you happy in November.

oldandornerier, you'll be glad to know I am already out of your country. But by all means, keep adding such valuable statements to the discussion.

You think my statement about cancer patients was retoric? Really? Again...READ MORE. Start here: http://thefreshxpress.com/2011/01/ronald.... Then this one: http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/health_stor.... Keep reading. http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/figh.... Retoric or reality?

RAF - get real. "Health Care" refers to the overall access to quality medical care. As for not denying life saving medical care to anyone, try telling that to the cancer patients who no longer gets her meds because her insurance stopped paying. You cannot honestly believe that because emergency rooms have to treat everyone who walks in, that actually means everyone gets life saving care? I think you are pretty adept at using retoric to cause confusion. Maybe you should take a minute and focus less on how to "get back at" someone with snappy comments and focus more on actually reading what they are saying. You could learn something.

RAF, that's an odd article to share, considering it proves my point. If you have money, you can pay for private care. If your point is that America has excellent medical professionals and can perform surgeries that doctors in several others can't, then that is also true. I never argued otherwise. There are actually many countries in Europe that send patients to the States to have certain procedures done - and those costs are usually covered by the European country. For elective procedures, or procedures that can be done in the home country, the individual will have to pay themselves, of course, if they choose to go abroad. America has the best medical research and surgeons in the world in many fields. The problem we are discussing is that a lot of Americans do not have access to them.

RAF...you amuse me. Maybe if you and some of your politicians were a little more open to input from people who think differently than you, your country would be in better shape. Keep thinking you are best in the world. You'd better never leave home, because you'd be in for a rude awakening.

RAF, to clarify. I never said your country was inferior. I am arguing that your country's health care system is inferior. Your country and many of its residents have much to be proud of. There are a lot of great things about America. But right now we are discussing health care. Which in America is vastly inferior to that of countries America likes to compare herself with.

RAF, did I hit a nerve? I still pay taxes in Wisconsin. I can put in my two cents, I think. Free speech and all, right?

In my opinion, Lab Safety Supply was a thriving company when it operated as an independent subsidiary of Grainger. And Grainger was doing perfectly fine, too. Did someone take one too many Sigma Six classes and realize that integration would cut some costs and put more money in the pocket of shareholders? I get the efficiency argument. I just don't get the ethical justification considering the current economic climate, especially for Janesville employees. No fair, Grainger.

It's that all pervasive fear you find in America today...."If I don't understand it, it must be something bad".
