Ronnie Reagan is probably my favourite US President, his sense of humour and his way of putting words made him stand out, and I know he would have frowned upon the direction that the US government is taking right now, he would certainly frown upon further government involvement within the free market, I do myself, but I don't quite understand the big deal about the Health Care Bill, aside from the desperate measures the government seems to have been considering to get it through, perhaps this is because I come from a nation where free health care is a right, not a privilege or perhaps it is because I do not have a full grasp of how the US system runs. If anyone wishes to enlighten me with calm and level headed facts without dragging this thread into a flame war, then I would be grateful.
