REGINA, NO ONE IN THE US WANTS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. I THINK THE SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS IS BECAUSE THEY CAN GET ONLY UP TO 150,000 THATS WHY THEY COME HERE. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS LIST OWN COMPANIES AND THEY MAKE THAT A YEAR. NOW IN LA. SINCE KATRINA ALL THE CONTRACTORS AND THE PLUMBERS ALL THE OTHERS ETC OR MAKING A FORTUNE .I KNOW A PLUMBER WELL MY HUSBAND HAS A PLUMBING CONTRACTING BUSINESS HE MAID 3 MILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR.HIS FRIEND.HE HAS 30 TRUCKS AND DOES ALOT OF TUNNELS. ITS ASHAME HOW THE PEOPLE HERE OR PAYING ALL THIS MONEY. MY HUSBAND ONLY HAS 6 TRUCKS. HE REALLY IS CLOSING THE BUSINESS. HE HAS A LOYAL EMPLOYEE WHO RUNS IT AND WE HAVE THE SAME SECRATARY WHEN HIS DAD HAD THE BUSINESS, DAN WAS 13 I MET HIM AT 16. I THINK THE PEOPLE WOULD REBEL IF THEY GO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. I HAVE A GREAT PLAN THRU MEDICARE, THEY HAVE MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.MY HUSBAND HAS INSURANCE FROM JEFFERSON PARISH WHERE HE IS HEAD PLUMBING CODE INSPECTOR. ITS ASHAME HERE WE LOST MANY HOSPITALS AND ALOT OF DOCTORS LEFT.NOW ITS COMING BACK SLOWLY. ALOT OF PEOPLE JUST DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR INSURANCE BUT THERE IS NOT A CHARITY HOSPITAL WHERE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE WENT. INSURANCE IS EXPENSIVE IF YOU HAVE A RIDER PUT ON YOU. I DO THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE INSURANCE BUT I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERMENT TELLING ME WHAT DOCTOR I CAN SEE AND WHAT HOSPITAL I HAVE TO GO TO. IN MY OPINION I THINK IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. THE ATHLETES MAKE SO MUCH MORE THAN DOCTORS, I THINK THAT IS RIDICOULOUS. I AM NOT DOWNING ATHLETES BUT THE MILLIONS THEY MAKE AND THE COACHES IS TO ME HORRIBLE. IF THEY DO NOT PLAY FOR A SEASON THEY STILL GET PAID. JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH.TIAD PAM
