I will agree that as long as they keep going down the road they are on now with private health care that yes you are correct. However were they to go to a single payer government system they could. The US wastes more (read spends more) per capita on health care than do we here in Canada and the majority of Americans, including a large percentage of those covered by private insurance get care that is sub standard to what we get in Canada. The biggest problem with Medicare is the legislation that gave the drug companies control over the prici9ng of drugs sold to Medicare, it forbade any price negotiations.

I hope Americans realize the seriousness of this election too. I don't think these problems are insurmountable, but I do think they need to be addressed soon. Thanks for your comment.

]]> Comment on Cheap Fitness: The One-Hundred Push Ups Plan by Brad http://www.dirtsimpleblog.com/2008/06/28/cheap-fitness-the-one-hundred-push-ups-plan/comment-page-1/#comment-111 Brad Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:46:31 +0000 http://www.dirtsimpleblog.com/?p=64#comment-111 I just started the 1st night of the 100 push-ups challenge last night, and my arms and upper body are slightly sore from using muscles that are not used to working together! I took the initial test about 2 weeks ago, but didn't get into the frame of mind to start the challenge until last night. I feel rather encouraged, and I have dreams of getting the upper body strength that I always wanted. Wish me luck!
