It seems like "life" and "pursuit of happiness" should imply that you're healthy enough to do both of those, now doesn't it?

I'm glad there's some opposition, though. I personally don't think this nation is ready to accept the kind of responsibility of nationalized health care, but I hope we work towards it in the future. Without priming ourselves for it, we'd just be stuck waiting in lines and b*tching, instead of trying to take care of ourselves and avoid the line in the first place!

Jlangler - I know what you're saying, I was just jerkin' you for some clarification. I believe that's a huge reason for skyrocketing health care costs, too. PLUS, sometimes Grandma is ready to go, but the Docs aren't ready to let go.
