Love the healthcare though
Yeah... wait for a few years until all the illegal aliens destroy the public healthcare system in the US. That's the difference between Obamacare and Romneycare.

As omg as they're paying for it, it's not a big deal. Real problem is the cost of healthcare itself, from what I can see. Used to be that docs took a vow of poverty, now they get a business degree as a minor in business. Add that to unneeded machines, admin-CEO salaries, pharmacy lobbyists and giving kickbacks to docs for signups to new meds......

The cost of healthcare in the US / EU is astronomically high, due to the following reasons: 1. Medical insurance companies act as a third party, rising costs by default. 2. Doctors are in short demand, and the average wage is around $25,000 per month (compared to $1,200 for the same sector in Russia and Eastern Europe). 3. Medical patents are respected in the US / EU, unlike some countries such as Brazil and Botswana.

1) There are just an handful of cases where Brazil didn't respect patents. 2) Brazil does not have to respect patents derived from stolen plants inside their territory, mostly from Amazonia

In case with countries like Brazil and Botswana, the main issue is with AIDS medications. Around 1 million are HIV +ve in Brazil, while in Botswana a quarter of the population is infected. The government can't afford costly ARV medication. So they gave permission for the mass production of cheap copies. Nothing to do with Amazonian plants here, but that occurred in some other instances.

I never claimed that 1) and 2) are directly related

The most well known case of refusal to recognize the patents by Brazil is that of Efavirenz, one of the ARVs used for the treatment of AIDS. Efavirenz is a complex compound derived from petrochemical reactions, and has nothing to do with Amazon rain forest.

Just wait until the 2014 elections, you'll see the machines crank up again. Anyone that does not see that the best thing is a republican senate needs their head examined. At the same time, I don't expect them - the repugs - to seriously get their act and platform together.

Out of curiosity, is there any party likely to win seats that is opposed to the NSA's intrusions?

Every illegal I know already has medi-cal, wic and food stamps Indeed: NYC welfare food is shipped in barrels to the Dominican Republic – then sold on the black market Food-stamp fraud in New York has turned into foreign aid — to black-market profiteers in the Dominican Republic. Last week, The Post revealed how New Yorkers on welfare are buying food with their benefit cards and shipping it in blue barrels to poor relatives in the Caribbean. But not everyone is giving the taxpayer-funded fare to starving children abroad. The Post last week found two people hawking barrels of American products for a profit on the streets of Santiago. “It’s a really easy way to make money, and it doesn’t cost me anything,” a seller named Maria-Teresa said Friday. The 47-year-old Bronx native told The Post she scalps barrels of Frosted Flakes and baby formula bought with welfare money in the United States. Maria-Teresa said she gets new barrels every few weeks from her sister, who buys everything at a Western Beef on Prospect Avenue near East 165th Street in Foxhurst. The scamming sibling pays $75 per barrel to transport the items to the DR through Mott Haven’s Luciano Shipping. Sometimes the family fraudsters take advantage of a special: three barrels for the price of two. Maria-Teresa said she uses some of the products but vends the rest out of her Santiago home, providing markdowns of $1 to $2 compared to what her buyers would pay in local shops. “I don’t know how much of a business it is, but I know a lot of people are doing it,” she said. http://nypost.com/2013/07/28/nyc-welfare-food-is-shipped-in-barrels-to-the-dominican-republic-then-sold-on-the-black-market/

We need to escape from this Stockholm Plantation Syndrome mentality. Of course we can be against him no matter his skin color. He opened the door for any ethnic groups to be president of the USA in the future. Now, please, do not destroy the country because his half blackness is making his half whiteness afraid to criticize his Holiness... No need to start a sentence with "I am not a racist, but..." Thank God I do not have this feeling guilty problem. Sith Lord Obama should send his Nobel $$$ back.
