Sorry Lee, my memory failed me (again - but I forgot) - it's actually 

between 80% [and 89% cited below] as in <<the Washington Post/ABC Poll, 81% 

of those sampled were satisfied with their present health care insurance 

policy. >>

and <<CNN poll finds that more than 80% of Americans are satisfied with the 

quality of their health care.>>

and <<the Kaiser Family Foundation, ABC News and USA Today, released in 

October 2006, found that 89 percent of Americans were satisfied with their 

own personal medical care, [and] Those with recent serious health problems, 

possibly the people with the best knowledge of how health care is working, 

were generally the most satisfied. Ninety-three percent of insured Americans 

who had recently suffered a serious illness were satisfied with their health 

care. So were 95 percent of those who suffered from chronic illness.>>

and on and on.

Larry,

Not even getting into the healthcare reform discussion, but where do you 

cite your 90% number from & how can you back up your statement as fact 

that we have the best healthcare system in the world.  While I believe 

that without a doubt we do, I cannot difinitively prove that as fact.

I was just wondering how you can flame someone else for posting facts they 

think are true & citing a source to prove it while you can put forth only 

opinions but post them as truth.  Seems a little arrogant to me.

Oh, and I do not know for sure, but perhaps Mauricio, like me has tired of 

the elitist rhetoric & hijacking of the list for political topics and only 

checks his list email every few days.  If that is the case, one might 

surmise that his email was a response to your last political posting to 

the list two or three days ago.  I don't know.

I love talking cars with you guys & have found this list an invaluable 

source of information on many topics over the years, many of which were 

not car related.  But when it comes to talking politics & religion, most 

people turn into know-it-all ass holes and we are all no exception to 

that.

Lee

Thanks For that comment Steve!  I love this list because of the depth of

knowledge - I ask a lot of OT questions about TVs, DVD's Financing and 

other

high tech stuff and I always KNOW I'll get a answer - usually it's correct
to boot! ;-)

BTW, what was Mauricio talking about?  I must have missed something.  His
comment about Obams spending didn't ring true but Jim fired back before I

could check facts (thx Jim!).  I know I've heard Obama has spent more in 

his

1st 8 months that all other presidents have before him - combined!  I'll
find the backup shortly.

As far as the heath car system - we have the best system in the world, it

costs a lot but that's because we have methods for healing never dreamed 

of

before.  Also, IIRC, 90% of the population is happy with their situation.
If the illegal aliens & young people who don't want or need insurance are

taken out of the question we have a problem os maybe 10 million - instead 

of

turning the medical system over to the USGov, to the tune of $1 tril (most
likely $3 Tril) we could *buy* them insurance for much less money!  Of

course,  don't advocate that - the govt doesn't need to be any more 

involved

in health insurance and retirement than they already are - it should be 

less

but that won't happen - it's like having a car with a flat tire - you fix
the tire, not buy a whole new car!  Unless you're Mauricio I guess.

Later -
LarryT
