Very sorry to hear about the various health issues. Fibromyalgia is certainly no walk in the park. Neither is the osteoporosis, arthritis, macular degeneration and high blood pressure. And lumps on the neck are not normally something to rejoice about. I'm glad that you are in a position to receive the care you need. That is indeed a completely separate issue from whether or not health care is an entitlement. I'm glad that health care exists in various forms in every country.

The purpose of this thread is not to advocate screwing people out of a good thing, but rather to emphasize that the method of providing a good thing can influence the sustainability of providing it. We are in danger of being unable to sustain existing programs. The system as it exists is in danger of insolvency. The million dollar question is this: given the system we already have, what is the best way to improve it?
