Actually a lot of people are against public schooling. I'm not one of them, but I certainly see their point. Americans schools are 20 years behind the curve right now.

Well I'm glad we're finally starting to see some really detailed, comprehensive answers and ideas and not just borderline retarded accusations...

And Vampyr, I'm not saying there aren't problems with healthcare (if you'd care to research anything we've said to this point you'd see that and most of your points are directly addressed in our previous posts), all we're saying is that complete government control is NOT the answer. 70% of Americans polled like their healthcare, but everyone seems willing to throw out 70% to try and make the 30% happier. Can't there be a better solution that works with the private sector to improve healthcare for everyone and bring the 30% up closer to the 70% instead of lowering the level of care to one common denominator?
