It is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. It is heart-breaking that the rich get the best treatment while the poor and middle-class suffer. Of course socialist medicine (i.e. Britain) has its problems, but living in Europe, we typically pay about one-tenth of the cost for prescriptions that Americans must pay. The drug companies deliberately jack up the prices in America, saying research costs justify the high prices. But European pharmaceutical companies also conduct extensive research and don't pass the costs on to their customers.<BR/><BR/>As for the election, hip hip HOORAY! Now time for the Democrats to take action and make some changes - although it will take more than two years to clean up Bush & Co's mess.<BR/><BR/>So glad you Meg, Liz and Alexandra all got to spend time together! It sounds like a blast. And I love your colourful room!paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1163222468128537782006-11-10T21:21:00.000-08:002006-11-10T21:21:00.000-08:00You mean those are pancakes in that top photo??
