Is this gouging or what?

The world would be a much better place if the government just subsidized everything. If you don't believe me, you can ask some of my Canadian friends when they come down to the states to get immediate medical treatment instead of waiting in line for care in Canada. And if you want even more proof that the government is the answer to all your needs, talk to someone in Venezuela. They have plenty of free time to expound on how great government subsidies work while they are waiting in line for hours to see if the local market has any toilet paper.

Have you tried to get immediate medical treatment in the US lately?! I sat in the ER waiting room for over 5 hours while they thought I was having a heart attack. I was right next to a woman in the throws of an appendicitis. She was laid over in cold sweats, shock, moaning. We were among a crowd with no sitting room left. The nurses routinely came out to make sure everybody was still alive though. Our system is no better than anyone else's, EXCEPT MAYBE Venezuela's. And the bill for waiting there was outrageous! Talk about gouging! Now back to your friendly RV banter.
