"How can we possibly countenance a system that costs twice as much as  
the Canadian system but delivers slightly worse care? Even assuming  
diminishing returns, our expenditures should result in care outcomes  
at least 20% or 30% better than Canada's. Instead, they're about 5%  
worse, but cost around 187%. Does it sound like we're getting a good  
deal?"

Bob, people have written books about the "code" that our youth speak in.
 I take comfort in the fact that my daughter is now an adult.
You will be horrified to learn the meaning of 'tossed salad' or 'rainbow
party' and the meaning of other words and phrases...I don't even feel
comfortable writing such.  Do some googling...Oprah had a show on this
once...

Bev
