#37, I agree. I live in the UK and we ten to complain a lot about our Health Service, but when we look at countries like the USA that have no National Health Service we have no right to complain! For such a developed and rich country such as the States not to have one astounds me.

As for Johnny Depp, I like him. I don’t think he’s fake. Compared to a lot of Hollywood actors he seems the most down-to-earth and genuine. I never noticed the accent thing before, I never really see him doing interviews so I couldn’t comment on his real accent. I hope you people aren’t criticising him for having a fake accent in his films though… that would just be rather silly lol!

It is a DISGRACE that we have people who die in the US because they don’t have access to BASIC healthcare. I mean a total sin. Meanwhile, the CEO’s of the pharmeceuticals and hospitals and insurance companies are rolling in dough. Politicians don’t care, because they’d have to let go of the campaign contributions. It’s a disgrace.

Just reading and resting today Tia, went to see the “Bee” movie yesterday, too many kids!!!!! Ha!

I think it would be a good agenda for the next election for someone to focus on Health Care issues, but they prob won’t have the guts to do so, will be afraid big money will be pulled from their campaign contributors!

Too many mothers having to decide, food, shoes for their children, or take them to the doctor! It is beyond disgraceful!!!

Grip- Yes i am from canada. How terrible that in such a powerful country there is pain and suffering due to poor health care.

Oriana- Here in canada, there is a shortage in nurses as well. I can tell you, I choose the right profession. Today the government in Ontario is offering free tuition to students who are interested in becoming a Nurse.
How your weekend went well dear!

Tia, in a country as big and powerful as ours, it is downright disgraceful when people have to choose between eating or getting their medicine! And people die and are turned away every day when they don’t have ins. Millions do not! You don’t have to be labeled a “poor” person to be snubbed and treated like dirt either. It is pitiful, beyond pitiful! There is a shortage of nurses everywhere, in every state.

I read even in Cuba there is medical care available to the people!

Grip, I am sure you have seen many sad cases you could write a book about!!!!

Tia - I take it you’re from Canada? well, healthcare in the US is a mess… I’m in the industry (and desperately trying to get out.) It’s a sin, and a disgrace… there is no question about it.

Cathi - saying America is far from perfect and acknowledging it’s faults - not hard to do, I could go on a diatribe about how things are messed up just based on the costumes I saw most kids in this Halloween…. BUT to say that America is an agressive puppy with big teeth and you never want your child to step foot in the country is a bit different. ESPECIALLY when you are more than willing to take $$ from that very country to live your rich life in another. And as for France, it is NOT a world power anymore, so it does not have the problems that world powers fact. But it has stop lots of problems…lots… as I have a friend who lived there and has family there. So it’s far from perfect too. He has the right to live in Antartica if he likes, but he’s still a messed up individual for talking as he does (as rare as it may be) and he’s a royal hypocrite in my book.
