I can understand why Americans do not like the health-care reforms of President Obama. This is the US of A: home of the brave, land of the free; whose people have the right to bear arms; whose government is for the people, by the people, and of the people; and who voted for George Bush twice. Yeah, you don’t need no stinking badges, and you’re welcome to come to Canada to buy your generic drugs, and India, Malaysia, and the Philippines are preparing more hospitals for your operation/vacation. Have fun, y’all.
