ethically i should be driving a BMW.. it is much safer than my 1992 Escort. why should i, just because i failed to continue my education and decided to collect welfare, be subjected to drive a car that is inferior in safety to a car that is driven by somebody who works very hard every day?. OBAMA please send me my BMW! (end sarcasm) and no, girl is wrong.. people live shorter in the US because we eat like crap, do not exercise, and lack health education.

The insurance companies put costs before medical necessity here in this country. Note that people in the European countries that have universal health care live longer than people in this country. Tens of millions of Americans have no health coverage whatsoever. Your comparisons are without merit considering the dismal situation that we are in as far as health care coverage.
