  • Re: Health care: March 30-April 5

    [quote user="Luanne Traud"] Are you satisfied with the U.S. health care system? If not, how would you restructure it? [/quote] This may not be "the last word," but hopefully it will be my last word on this topic. (Do I hear applause, cheering, and barking?) No, I am not satisfied...
