If the prospect of SWINE FLU doesn't underline the fact that the USA truely lacks any meaningfull health care at present I certainly cant immagine any more seriouse manner of pointing this out. Unlike the rest of the industrial, tecnological nations ofthe world we undoubtedly will fail to be able to provide "Health Care" for adequately containing the virus through vaccination of the population for it. Our system is not just insufficient to the task, but it is also broken and needs replacement. This replacement should be Health care for all Americans. It must be all inclusive such as that available in France and Scandinavia. I feer for the population of the USA in comming months of the Swine Flu pandemic.
