Two Imminent Facts The American People Should Know

1. In a recent conversation, friends visiting from England told us that National Health care is not working there, (or for their relatives in Canada). Doctors appointments are far from immediate, medicine for potentially fatal illnesses such as cancer, if deemed too expensive, are not allowed,
and operations can take as long as three years waiting time.

If they can afford it, both English and Canadian citizen's try to go elsewhere for surgery and medical attention. Some choose to pay for very expensive private health insurance which allows for quick treatment and medicines.

The plea from our friends was "don't let Universal Health Care in to the U.S

2. Attempting to properly count Census "cheats" is a tough job.

My aunt was a census taker many years ago, and even then, people had their children counted as part of many households.

My aunt picked up on it after the second house she entered had the same "looking" children dressed in the same clothing as the first house did. After several houses later she returned
to the first house and told them that all the children she saw would be in her count for their family, but not for the rest of the houses on the block.

Beware Beware..there's a great deal at stake in this census, and with organizations aiming to count certain groups more intensively than others, (with those groups even having been given an office in the Obama White House) , your Congressional district could be greatly affected.
