I want to know what is the crisis in US health care. I live in the US and purchase my own health care independantly for a very reasonable price....what am I missing? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

From what I understand, it's basically the same as the pony crisis.

* I want ponies.

* I want someone else to pay for those ponies.

* Nobody is getting off their ass to buy ponies for me.

Hence, crisis. We need decisive action from a bold leader willing to make sacrifices in order to make this happen.

Great analogy ... if not having a pony means a death sentence to many.
