Great discussion guys!
I have to say some basic health care should be available to everyone - insured or not. And basically it is. Anything beyond essential health care is extra and should go to those who pay. Anything other than that is socialized medicine.
Someone pointed out that all these "expensive" drugs come from US companies. That actually proves Fabs' point. Where there's money, there's more innovation and advancement. There's a reason why the leading manufacturers aren't in Canada, Mexico, India, China, etc. These other countries do benefit from US consumers but its our medical infrastructure and capitalist economy that drives these advancements for us to enjoy too.
Along the lines of new daughters... my six month old was born on a day very easy to remember. 10/22 ought six (10/22/06 for more normal people). My dad pointed out that both he and I were lucky she was a girl... the expenses in buying a son guns, ammo, and hunting equipment would have put both of us in the poor house real quick... not to say a daughter won't too though!
