smilies/angry.gif I think the U.S. has a very bad healthcare system. I personally cannot afford any kind of healthcare at all due to high rents and bills. Even though I am now eligible for Medicare, I cannot afford to pay extra for needed vision, hearing, and dental, so have had to go without. Previous to my (early) retirement, I was downsized from a permanent job. While temping I was eligible for Medi-CAL, California's so-called healthcare for the poor. After I went on Social Security due to my retirement, they informed me since I was making more now than I was while I was doing temp-work, I had to pay a certain "share" of the costs. This "share" was FAR over my ability to pay. For glaucoma eyedrops I was asked to pay nearly a hundred bucks a month, which I definitely could not come anywhere close to. I need a new hearing aid and dental care too, but would have a difficult time paying anymore than $20 or so a month for insurance/co-pay. The poor pay taxes too, so they should be able to get free healthcare without a lot of red tape and huge co-pays or monthly payments. My Medi-Cal "worker" was not in the least sympathetic nor helpful to me; these people, in my experience, have a mean-spirited, hard-hearted, unsympathetic attitude towards poor people.

Happy New Year!

ugg boots can let us warm and comfortable.So If you want to buy some gifts to you lovers or friends.I think is a right choose.
As a child, everyone I knew in Australia had a pair of Uggs. They were well cared for, the comfy suede exterior regularly cleaned and Scotchguarded and the boots worn until the sheepskin inside had all but disappeared.

uggs on sale with 70% dicount.All boots in our site are high quality.I think you can buy them with a gift for christmas day!
Take it from a seasoned Australian inside Ugg boot wearer, it is not and it never will be. Doing so may propel you directly into the class of having less than- zero fashion sense and the social sigma associated with it. Enjoy comfy Uggs, luxuriate in the warmth of sheepskin under you toes, but do so inside, some things are just not meant to be shared.
