Privatizin' medicare is good for only one small group of people...the medical and health insurance industry. That is...a few rich people. Rich people fund yer election campaigns. They can also afford to pay for their own health insurance...no problem.

So guess why yer politicians are doin' things their way? Because that's where the big money is fer them and their best buddies. Just like the old days back in Tammany Hall, only it's a national situation now, not just in one big city.

LH is scared to death of yer privatized Medicare system. That's why he don't live down here in the "land of the free".

Me, I live in Chicago. I just figger I'll be one of the lucky ones and not get sick. (I smoke and drink regular to keep my immune system real strong.) I expect to die suddenly on the street of lead poisonin' one day, if ya get what I mean. Fast. Not layin' sick in bed for a long time with bills I can't pay.

LH don't expect to go suddenly (although you can never tell), so that's why he is stayin' in Canada, where it won't bankrupt him if he gets sick.
