BRITISH HEALTH CARE

I'm on my 4th book of amateur female detectives that center around small villages in England. In two of the books there was made mention of British health care. The following is take from a book titled "Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death" as written by M.C Beaton first published in July 1998, from page 63 - "It'll be worth it. My Bert said, he said, no creature should have to endure the pain I've had. But you know what the National Health Service is like. My turn'll come round when I'm in my grave." Do we want National Health Care here in the US?

Here is another thought, the US government now puts out over 1 trillion dollars a year to cover medicare. In 10 years that's over 10 trillion dollars. In the latest released health care bill out of the house, it states that it will take 2 trillion dollars to kick start a national health care program. The white house says it will cost over a ten year period 1 trillion dollars. Something wrong with this picture don't you think? A trillion a year for medicare compared to a trillion for a ten year period for national health care, something doesn't add up. Wonder why congress has low poll numbers! What say you?
