    So socialized medicine is great

    Last week Italy was refusing to treat seniors over 65 for any illness, not only the coronavirus... That's changed... now if you are over 60 years old... go home and die.

    I wonder if there's an exception for the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament?

      A time will come to count the living, and the dead,

      worldwide,

      And see who did better, and

      who did worse.

          It depends on whether or not Bernie Sanders becomes President.

            Well I'm not sure yet if the Jerusalem Post is a reliable source on this yet but Red I think your observation on this interesting.

            Interesting in that the criticism comes from a man that takes advantage of free service at the V.A. ....with some whining about the care and/or efficiency of it.

            On top of which I have little doubt you signed up for medicare when you hit 65 all those years ago ..... what's the answer to this un happiness ?.... it's simple

            give up your socialised benefits Red and purchase your own out of pocket insurance .

            Repeal and Replace was the mantra.... and now the WH is falling back on Obamacare....ironic
