Obama and Huckabee win first 2008 vote

That is totally not true. Doctors here in Germany (hell, in Europe as a whole) are paid VERY well. In fact, my boss' wife (a radiologist) just spent a million bucks on a new MRI machine so...I don't think socialized medicine will be the ruin of doctors in the States.

Seriously.

You make it sound like doctors would need food stamps and shit... The children of doctors will never have to eat government cheese! :-)

I mean, maybe I just don't have a typical American attitude.

Here is my last experience with the healthcare system in Germany: My 4yo needed surgery so they scheduled it and he got it. I never saw a bill and never found out how much the costs for the surgery were. It's nice not having to associate a dollar figure to your child's health like that. I hate paying these ridiculous taxes in Germany; really, I do. It's just so much more comforting knowing I'll never have to neglect the health of my sons because I can't afford some medical procedure.

Are you paying German taxes? I thought you were in the military or something...

Prior military. I'm working on the German economy now.
