Some of these lawyers feed off of Doctors like sharks in a feeding frenzy. You could move to Massachusetts where if certain people get their way, they might have the countries first state funded Socialized Health Care, but then again maybe not since the quality of care wil go down and the state will go bankrupt. Ask yourself a question. Any time some high profile person in the world needs an operation that requires the latest and greatest technology, where do they go? Not Russia, not China, not Cuba and not even Canada. Answer, they come here where the best doctors in the world are.

As you stated they come from all over the world for treatment But do they pay NOPE usually for free just like if you have no JOB or are ILLEGALLY here. Yeah I am sure this is a small percentage but these us companies charge there own. Why is it that everyone wants meds from Canada same stuff ,same company half the price?

funny
I'll tell you what, Buchanon my be a racist bigot, but he has said the best idea i've ever heard come from a politician. Put the U.S. is a bubble and take care of it's people, and screw everyone else. The day the leader of our country starts taking care of the people and issues in our country rather than trying to fix everyone elses is the day i change my views on the politics of the united state's government.

Lightning's and Unions
****Sorry****
I typed this up before I say the post was closed. But since I took the time to type it, I wanted somebody to see it (If you see the way I type, you"ll understand) before it gets moved, deleted or I get banned.....:-)

So how are the American workers suppose to be able to buy the $600 computer if their job has been moved overseas
Sorta like you can't have your cake and eat it too
And yes the unions do have useless POS on jobs. But so does the NON union sector. As in both, they are usually related some way to someone in high places. But as someone who is a union caring member for 25yrs, I know I could never save enough to retire (Thank you Unions), never be able to afford decent medical coverage (Thank you Unions), never have a SAFE jobsite (Thank you Unions) and never make a livable wage. (Thank you Unions).
For all the union haters, why do you think your company provides the wage and benefits? Thats right, because of the unions. The unions are the ones that forced the overtime. That started way back in the coal miner days, when you went into a coal mine before sun up and came out after sun down. Probably before many of our times, but non the less a part of American labor.
The only way from my stand point, is that you could hate unions, is that you own a company. And hate to pay a decent wage to the "people" that built your company, but rather line your own pockets. Non before I get attacked for that statment, Let me say that I believe that a man or women that takes their own money to invest(risks) in a company, surely deserves to have a decent return on their money. But what most union haters fail to realize, is that us the union workers, know that the owner has to make money for us to make money.
Fire away
I'll be 45' in the air, wearing a nomex fire suit, in a full body harness, welding in a very explosive area(READ.....Middle of a working refinery) putting pipe together so we can drive our Lightning everyday.

Therefore if our domestic brands are going to compete with offshore brands their only choice, if they want to stay in busines at all, is to have their product built in offshore facilities.
