Health care is the only odd button with me. While I think that people should have to pay for health insurance, I don't think that people should have to pay $100 for a tylenol in a hospital. Insurance companies, false malpractice suites, and actual malpractice are part of the blame for the high cost for medical care, but the main issue behind high cost is that when anyone walks into a hospital, they are taken care of, then they get a bill, or their insurance does. The people who don't have insurance, are on government care, or are illegally in America don't pay, and aren't made to. So you know who eats that bill? We do, thats the main reason you probably have a $1500 deductible.
Hotzester - I agree with your English language opinion. They are voting on the 22nd in Nashville to make English the primary language of business. I hope it passes. The people that are against it say that we are building barriers against other cultures and to immigrants, I say the tower of Babel didn't work out so well because people couldn't understand eachother. Language is the glue that binds us as a country.
Besides, to become a US citizen LEGALLY, you have to know and understand the english language. The only people that would benefit from a multi-lingual country are the people that are here Illegally, or that have no intentions of being American, or staying in this country for a long time.
Being unable to speak english, builds its own barriers especially when trying to advance in the American work world. I say English First.
