By the sound of your posts, I'll bet your parents were related in more ways than just marriage.

So the American taxpayer paid for your 2 weeks in a VA hospital because you claim you had no other options. Yet you don't want any other Americans to be offered any options on your dime. You claim your friends hate Medicare but have no other option, and yet you don't want to afford them any options on your dime.

You're a swell guy; with a friend like you they don't need enemies.
