You have gotten under my skin.  I can't believe you could fall for some of 
the blatant lies being put out by the democratic national committee.  You 
mention, that by having a governmental system, all the money would go 
towards health care.  There really could be nothing further from the 
truth.  Look at any government agency and you will find expenditures going 
towards various overheads, projects, etc. that a private company would go 
out of business if they tried to operate in the same fashion.  Why?  
Because the system would be POLITICIZED!  It would be the same system 
which gave us the $500 dollar toilet seat procuring pacemakers and 
CATSCANS.  By saying that instead of having your money go to 
pharmaceauticals, doctors, etc. which you claim is part of the problem, 
you want to give this money to Congress???  Honey, you might as well be 
kissing that money goodbye!  BTW have you checked out a VA hospital yet.  
Before you speak anymore on this subject, please take a first-hand look at 
hour our government is faring in the health care profession.  It's a 
disgrace.
