Universal health care seems like the answer to creating jobs for us here in America!
Tom:
Huh?
I hope you were joking.
This is based on the past system of private insurance. Just wait a few years and take this survey again... our numbers will fall dramatically.
Socialized health care has failed where ever it has been tried. England and Canada are currently looking into changing their system to be more like the American system prior to the unconstitutional Obama-care.
No Tom is right. You Kill off a few working seniors and that will definatly create some job openings.
