I'm sorry you're so unhappy.  I certainly don't defend the inefficiencies of the VA healthcare system.  You obviously aren't too fond of U of O students.  That's your choice.  The pursuit is a reference to happiness.  My reference concerned health care as an integral part of life.  If you feel folks who don't have insurance or a lot of money should just die when they get sick, say so.  I feel the provision of basic health care service is a legitimate responsibility of the community.  BTW: Rich kids do find with birth control.  It's the poor kids who need the services of Planned Parenthood and other providers. 

 I hope things "look up" for you.  Gary Crum
