More than just that, a lot of people with excellent grades still can't afford to go to prestigious universities. The whole point of my rant is, life isn't fair. We have a free market here in America, most of our doctors aren't governments workers and neither are most of our professors. You aren't entitled to either, you have to work hard and make money to survive and prosper in this great country.

the health-care system needs reform, that's a given, but shoving 2700 pages of regulations and yet to written rules is hardly the answer and forgive people that think this scares them, it's the unknown that scares people and 2700 pages of something no one has read yet is pretty much UNKNOWN

Bingo, no one is saying the system is perfect. As soon as someone is against the proposed health care overhaul some idiot comes out of the wood-works to call us rich white people who support greedy insurance corporations.

Oh my god, you greedy white rich piece of garbage.
