Art, sounds like you know what you're talking about! He did say that Reagan wanted to make VA hospitals open to Medicaid patients, which would have caused a disaster of overcrowding, he said. He may have just meant the Republicans, who he hates with a passion. I see some of this myself, though -- one of our two VA hospitals had to close as an overnight facility a few years ago (don't remember the year, could even have been Clinton), making veterans have to travel miles and miles out of their way.

Bobert -- yeah, I'm with you on the need for health care. None of my friends have jobs that provide health care, and several of them live in fear of being dropped from their expensive plans all the time. How we can be waging a war and spending billions at this time, when our own needs are so dire...and will only get worse...grrrrrrr. !!!!!

I want a regime change. I wish it could happen.
