Health Care in America

I'm re-posting these comments of my sister in this blog because this is an important subject for discussion (has some dated references).

My business makes more money than Senator Obama seems to think I deserve to keep, so I can look forward to being in his crosshairs to pay even more should he be elected President. I certainly don’t want to attract the scrutiny of the crack investigative media teams that have unearthed every skeleton in p...
