Can you explain what you mean, Riverwild? What do mean by "reversed the decision" and 'how' they are going to reduce budgets off the back of the disabled on Medicare, etc.?

Well, if you can't trust your government to look after the people, who can you trust? What a horrible predicament.
The only way something is going to change is if Americans all band together and demand equal health care for all your citizens. Of course this costs money (increased taxes) and will likely have to result in lower expectations . . but it ensures that everyoine is taken care of.
On American Idol last week, they said that 50 million people in the US are under-insured now. That's a lot of people that need a lot of help . . . and doesn't even include the one's that might be adversely affected by reductions to co-pays, etc. that might happen.
