If I can't have the same health care as France had don't bother with "Reform." My friends in France never worry about health care. When I was working (unemployed now for 13 months after 20 years at the same job) our deductable was 5 thousand dollars. You had to have a network doctor. Network doctors would not take new patients. Why bother? There is not health in the United States of America unless
1 You are already healthy.
2 You are wealthy.
If health care reform mean you have to pay for insurance, guess what, I don't have the money. So kill me already.
