I asked him a question: "how much his family did pay for that operation, medicines etc?". He told me: "NOTHING, because it's free in the Netherlands!!!" ...

The sad fact is.. It could be that way in the states, but the drug companies and hospitals are more concerned with the bottom line than with the citizens..
We'd rather send billions of dollars to Iraq when they have trillions worth of oil that could rebuild that place.. And I think Bush said that Iraq would be rebuilt with their own oil revenues back when he was selling the war.. Chalk up another one..
It's such a shame that the U.S. has so much potential, but the polititians play too many, "I wanna win" games that the citizens don't stand a chance at having what is, or should be, rightfully theirs..
