because the health care topic is so good...and I stand to learn so much.
But I will branch off to respond to the point about the rest of the world being green with envy about our nation and culture.
It's been my good fortune to travel overseas quite a bit, so here's my reading:
On our prosperity?: absolutely. Who would not want to live in our land of plenty?
On culture?: aside from matters of taste, like the Kardashians, there are two things that sincerely baffle the educated people I meet in other countries:
1) the degree of poverty. To them, it seems logical that all would be supported at some level above what the poorest now endure.
2) the guns. When someone cites 74 school shootings in the last 18 months...I really have nothing to say.
