Health care should be a right not a privilege...

Ditto on that! I'm just a tiny bit surprised to hear you saying that though, knowing you come from the land of the most "conservative", primitive thinking I've ever seen. Just shows there's real intelligence to be found everywhere.

Sorry, everyone, I don't mean to step on anyone's toes. :o The whole health care issue is a complicated one. I'd just like people like Corey and Bill to have access to affordable health care. They are not "leaches" on society, as some in Congress would have you believe.

Oh are you referring to Colorado Springs.. home of Focus on the Family, Good ol' Ted Haggart (new life church) etc... by the way he was on the news last night. Guess you all kicked him out of AZ and now he is back here claiming he is "cured" (dude needs to just admit he is gay and a drug addict, Quit using the Devil and God and Religion as excuses...) and starting a new prayer group that has bout 100 people in it so far...

Actually we are really a Military town so there is a lot of Variety here... our county even voted Democrat for president after being a long time republican county...

I think Obama nailed it when he said that health care reform is not a democrat issue or a republican issue, its an American issue... Look who is now supporting the legislation... AARP and the American Medical Association... did ya know that something like 59% of all small business bankruptcies are related to medical expenses and causes.... Not sure how Republicans can champion themselves as the pro small business party and yet be against health care for every one...

You're right, I WAS referring to Colorado Springs, but I kind of lump Fountain, Monument, Black Forest, Security, Palmer and all the rest of the suburbs into that pile. Reading the Rocky Mountain News is like being transported onto a different planet.

But, you're right about it being a military town too.

What I can't understand is what's fueling all the development there. All the surrounding farmland is being swallowed up by huge tracts of houses and malls. And, a lot of those houses are BIG ones too. Somebody's got money, and it certainly isn't my Sister or her friends.

I'll just say glad to hear your family is on the mend Corey.

As to the healthcare debate....I had probably better just keep my opinion to myself.
