Posted in General, tagged Healthcare, Politics, Universal Health Care on September 22, 2009 |
Veterinary care is fast, friendly, cheap and efficient – what a free market system should look like (and the opposite of the healthcare system now). ACORN and the NEA are in hot water, which is not inspiring a “trust me” attitude towards big gov’t. –3healthymonkeys
