Hello Hercule: I agree with you in that the health care situation in the U.S has to be improved. Unfortunately, big business, drug companies, and insurance companies, control much of the medical care costs in the US of A. These entities are interested mainly in lining their own pockets ( the almighty buck) It looks as if things here are going to get worse here with the upcoming budget cuts. I am one of the fortunate ones who can afford to pick up a few extra ostomy supplies every few months if I need them. But I feel so sorry for those with minimal incomes as they are the ones who are going to be hurt by the cuts. I think the president is trying to do the right thing for all citizens, but he has met with such negativity. All we can do is hope and pray that congress will come to its senses and increase taxes on the wealthy ( incomes over $250,000 a year) One of my sons and his wife have a $250,000 income between them ,and they would gladly pay more taxes to help those less fortunate.
